Abstract excerpt
In forensic genetics, Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) are widely used in male lineage tracing, kinship analysis, and mixture interpretation. Conventional genotyping of Y-STRs relies on length-based detection via capillary electrophoresis (CE). However, massively parallel sequencing (MPS) enables simultaneous determination of both length and sequence genotypes, thereby increasing the information...
