Journal ArticleDOI

A global analysis of Y-chromosomal haplotype diversity for 23 STR loci

Josephine Purps, +163 more
TL;DR: A strong correlation was observed between the number of Y-STRs included in a marker set and some of the forensic parameters under study, and a weak but consistent trend toward smaller genetic distances resulting from larger numbers of markers became apparent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigation of heteroplasmy in the human mitochondrial DNA control region: a synthesis of observations from more than 5000 global population samples.

TL;DR: Interestingly, these data indicate that the frequency of heteroplasmy differs between particular populations, perhaps reflecting variable mutation rates among different mtDNA lineages and/or artifacts of particular population groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mystery solved: the identification of the two missing Romanov children using DNA analysis.

TL;DR: Forensic DNA testing on the remains discovered in 2007 using mitochondrial DNA, autosomal STR, and Y- STR testing have virtually irrefutable evidence that the two individuals recovered from the 2007 grave are the two missing children of the Romanov family: the Tsarevich Alexei and one of his sisters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rare failures in the amelogenin sex test.

TL;DR: Among 29, 432 phenotypic male individuals stored in the Austrian National DNA database, 6 individuals were found to lack the amelogenin Y-specific PCR product which was confirmed using alternative amelogensin primers.
Journal ArticleDOI

A modular real-time PCR concept for determining the quantity and quality of human nuclear and mitochondrial DNA

TL;DR: A hematin model was used to test the ability of the quantitative real-time (rtq) PCR system to predict the effects of inhibitors in downstream PCR-based genotyping.
