The deconvolution of DNA mixtures has gathered the attention of forensic DNA scientists for
over two decades. To enhance mixture deconvolution capabilities, a new generation of …

DNA profiling has emerged as the gold standard for the identification of victims in mass
disaster events providing an ability to identify victims, reassociate remains and provide …

Designed as an accessible introduction to basic scientific principles and their application in
professional practice, Forensic Biology provides a concise overview of the field. Focusing …

Background DNA sequencing is likely to become a standard typing method in forensics in
the near future. We define a microhaplotype to be a locus with two or more single nucleotide …

Improving the amplification and analysis of highly degraded DNA extracts has been a
longstanding area of research in forensic genetics. One of the most promising recent …

In this study, a multiplex amplification system including 47 autosomal InDels, 2 Y-
chromosome InDels, and the sex-determining marker (Amelogenin) was developed with six …

Short tandem repeat (STR) polymorphisms have been firmly established as standard DNA
marker systems since more than 15 years both in forensic stain typing as well as in paternity …

Marker sets based on insertion/deletion polymorphisms (InDels) combine the characteristics
of both short tandem repeats (STRs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms and have served …

Insertion–deletion polymorphisms (INDELs) are short length diallelic polymorphisms caused
by the insertion or deletion of several bases. INDEL markers can serve as useful …

Insertion/deletion polymorphisms (InDels) have particular characteristics, such as a
relatively low mutation rate, small amplicon size, and no stutter artifacts when genotyped via …
