Abstract excerpt
Microhaplotypes (MHs) are short, multi-allelic genetic markers that combine high genomic abundance with low mutation rates and the absence of stutter artefacts in PCR. These properties make them promising genetic markers for resolving complex kinships in forensic genetics. In this study, 202 MHs were genotyped in 181 family samples. By integrating empirical genotyping with extensive in-silico simulations, we...
