Microhaplotype loci (microhaps, MHs) are a novel type of molecular marker of less than 300
nucleotides, defined by two or more closely linked SNPs associated in multiple allelic …

With the great strides made in the last ten years in the understanding of human population
variation and the detailed characterization of the genome, it is now possible to identify sets …

Abstract Forensic DNA Phenoty** (FDP) comprises the prediction of a person's externally
visible characteristics regarding appearance, biogeographic ancestry and age from DNA of …

SNPs that are molecularly very close (< 10 kb) will generally have extremely low
recombination rates, much less than 10− 4. Multiple haplotypes will often exist because of …

Abstract Massively Parallel (Next Generation) Sequencing (MPS) technologies have
recently been proven useful and successful in ty** various markers relevant in forensic …

Short tandem repeats are the gold standard for human identification but are not informative
for forensic DNA phenoty** (FDP). Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as genetic …

Forensic DNA phenoty** is gaining interest as the number of applications increases within
the forensic genetics community. The possibility of providing investigative leads in addition …

In a directed search of 1000 Genomes Phase III variation data, 271,934 tri-allelic single
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified amongst the genotypes of 2,504 …

The use of microhaplotypes (MHs) for ancestry inference has added to an increasing
number of ancestry-informative markers (AIMs) for forensic application that includes …

Current forensic ancestry-informative panels are limited in their ability to differentiate
populations in the Asia-Pacific region. MAPlex (Multiplex for the Asia-Pacific), a massively …
