Abstract excerpt
The short tandem repeats (STRs) or microsatellites are used for paternity testing and these sequences mutate more rapidlythanbulkDNAsequences. A total of 746 paternity cases were analysed to understand the mutation rate of 21 autosomal STR loci. We identified 41 mutations in 11 STR Loci with a maximum at SE33. No mutations occurred in the remaining 10 STR loci. The overall average mutation rate was estimated as...
