Abstract excerpt
Short tandem repeat (STR) systems are the most powerful and widely used genetic marker systems in forensic DNA typing. Optimized amplification conditions and PCR reagents in combination with laser fluorescence based detection methods have increased the sensitivity and decreased the detection threshold down to approximately 100 pg. The quality of human DNA from forensic samples can be influenced by environmental...
