Interlaboratory exercise to establish proficiency testing for sequencing of forensic STR and SNP markers.

Abstract excerpt

Massively parallel sequencing (MPS) is increasingly used in forensic DNA analysis for SNP and STR genotyping, though accredited proficiency tests remain limited. To address this, five forensic DNA laboratories from four countries participated in a study to assess MPS methods across different kits and platforms. In this study ForenSeq DNA Signature Prep Kit, ForenSeq MainstAY kit, Precision ID GlobalFiler NGS STR...
