Routine Mitogenome MPS Analysis from 1 and 5 mm of Rootless Human Hair

Abstract excerpt

While hair shafts are a common evidence type in forensic cases, they are often excluded from DNA analysis due to their limited DNA quantity and quality. Mitochondrial (mt) DNA sequencing is the method of choice when working with rootless hair shaft fragments due to the elevated copy number of mtDNA and the highly degraded nature of nuclear (n) DNA. Using massively parallel sequencing (MPS) of the mitochondrial...
