Abstract excerpt
Rootless hair shafts are often considered unsuitable for STR genotyping due to the known high failure rate. The same samples can be reliably processed with mitochondrial sequencing. However, the minimal discriminatory power of widely implemented control region mitochondrial sequencing techniques limits its utility in some forensic casework. In this research, multiple variables were tested to provide information...
