Pentaplex typing of new European Standard Set (ESS) STR loci in Indian population
DOI: 10.1016/j.fsigen.2011.07.003
Autosomal short tandem repeats (STRs) are effective tools for human identification. The amplicon size of the conventional STR markers used for the forensic casework ranges from 75 to 450bp. Due to fra...
