Over the past decade, the human identity testing community has settled on a set of core
short tandem repeat (STR) loci that are widely used for DNA ty** applications. A variety of …

DNA ty** with short tandem repeat (STR) markers is now widely used for a variety of
applications including human identification. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) instruments, such …

Adrenal aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) constitutively produce the salt-retaining
hormone aldosterone and are a common cause of severe hypertension. Recurrent …

DNA evidence is widely used in the modern justice system. Statistical methodology plays a
key role in ensuring that this evidence is collected, interpreted, analysed and presented …

A number of studies have demonstrated that successful analysis of degraded DNA

Short tandem repeats (STRs) are regions of tandemly repeated DNA segments found
throughout the human genome that vary in length (through insertion, deletion, or mutation) …

Abstract The PowerPlex® Fusion 6C System is a 27-locus, six-dye, multiplex that includes
all markers in the expanded CODIS core loci and increases overlap with STR database …

Interlaboratory studies are a type of collaborative exercise in which many laboratories are
presented with the same set of data to interpret, and the results they produce are examined …

An additional 20 novel mini‐short tandem repeat (miniSTR) loci have been developed and
characterized beyond the six previously developed by our laboratory for a total of 26 non …
