Abstract excerpt
Kinship testing based on genetic relatedness is one of the major tasks in forensic genetics. Although short tandem repeats (STRs) are the "gold standard" biomarkers for relationship testing, microhaplotypes (MHs) have also emerged as viable options for kinship elucidation. In this work, the kinship testing efficiency of 54 highly polymorphic MHs was studied in two extended families consisting of parent-offspring,...
