Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Short tandem repeat (STR) markers are widely used in forensic DNA analysis due to their ability to provide automated and standardised typing. However, incorrect STR typing can have a significant impact on forensic outcomes. AIM: In this study, we detected drop-out alleles at the SE33 locus in a putative father-son pair using the Microreader™ 28 A ID System. This result could lead to a false conclusion...
