BACKGROUND: X-chromosome short tandem repeats (X-STRs) are valuable for resolving complex kinship cases. Most population databases are based on the ArgusX12 kit (Qiagen), using PCR and capillary electrophoresis (CE) to identify length-based (LB) alleles, and are formatted for FamlinkX software. However, haplotype diversity is often underrepresented by population studies, compelling database updates (...
