Current sequencing technology makes microhaplotypes a powerful new type of genetic marker for forensics.

Abstract excerpt

SNPs that are molecularly very close (<10kb) will generally have extremely low recombination rates, much less than 10(-4). Multiple haplotypes will often exist because of the history of the origins of the variants at the different sites, rare recombinants, and the vagaries of random genetic drift and/or selection. Such multiallelic haplotype loci are potentially important in forensic work for individual...
