Abstract excerpt
Due to their polymorphic nature, short tandem repeats (STRs) are well-studied and routinely used genetic markers for forensic DNA typing. However, even the largest STR multiplexes are limited in their ability to parse out individuals in a DNA mixture sample, due to alleles shared by size detected by capillary electrophoresis and challenges in resolving minor alleles from stutter, and inherent heterozygote...
