Forensic DNA Typing: Biology, Technology, and Genetics of STR Markers

TL;DR: This chapter discusses DNA Typing, basic Genetic Principles, Statistics, & Probability, and Approaches to Statistical Analysis of Mixtures and Degraded DNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetics and genomics of core short tandem repeat loci used in human identity testing.

TL;DR: The physical location of each STR locus in the human genome is delineated and allele ranges and variants observed in human populations are summarized as are mutation rates observed from parentage testing.
Journal ArticleDOI

The development of reduced size STR amplicons as tools for analysis of degraded DNA.

TL;DR: Comparison studies in over 100 samples have verified that these miniSTR primers can provide fully concordant results to commercial STR kits and can provide improved signal from degraded DNA specimens.
Journal ArticleDOI

AutoDimer: a screening tool for primer-dimer and hairpin structures.

TL;DR: A familiar sliding algorithm has been employed in a software package wherein the user can compare multiple sequences in a single computational run and a score is assigned to potential duplex interactions exceeding a user-defined threshold.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA Commission of the International Society of Forensic Genetics (ISFG): an update of the recommendations on the use of Y-STRs in forensic analysis.

TL;DR: The DNA Commission of the International Society of Forensic Genetics regularly publishes guidelines and recommendations concerning the application of DNA polymorphisms to the problems of human identification, and the current recommendations address important aspects to clarify problems regarding the nomenclature, the definition of loci and alleles, population genetics and reporting methods.
