Abstract excerpt
Microhaplotypes are an emerging kind of genetic markers composed of SNPs in closely linked allelic combinations, typically spanning up to 300 bp. When analyzed using next generation sequencing, they are considered a promising alternative to STRs in complex forensic casework involving mixed samples and degraded DNA. This study presents the first application of MPS to analyze microhaplotypes in 1165 individuals...
