Abstract excerpt
DNA samples found at a scene of crime or obtained from the debris of a mass disaster accident are often subject to degradation. When using the STR DNA technology, the DNA profile is observed via a so-called electropherogram (EPG), where the alleles are identified as signal peaks above a certain level or above a signal to noise threshold. Degradation implies that these peak intensities decrease in strength for...
