Abstract excerpt
Short tandem repeats (STRs) are widely used in forensic genetics for individual identification. While traditional STR analysis relies on capillary electrophoresis (CE), next-generation sequencing (NGS) offers advantages such as full allelic sequence resolution, improving sensitivity and discrimination power. However, genetic variations in flanking regions can lead to discordant genotyping results between CE and...
