Abstract excerpt
The reproducibility of short tandem repeat (STR) genotyping of highly degraded DNA is often reduced due to artifacts generated during polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. The frequency and amount of these artifacts are related to the quality and quantity of the DNA amplified. Consequently, the aim of this investigation was the optimization of DNA extraction to increase the reproducibility of STR...
