Abstract excerpt

Short tandem repeat (STR) alleles are popular for use as forensic markers due to their highly polymorphic nature. Commonly they are separated by gel electrophoresis and visualized using intercalation dyes. The purpose of this study was to determine the changes in absorbance and fluorescence of DN...
