Genetic map of human X-linked microsatellites used in forensic practice
Previous ArticleDatabase crime to crime match rate calculation

      DNA typing at polymorphic short tandem repeats (STRs) loci has become a standard and indispensable technique in medical and forensic genetic testing. Forensic genetic analysis of human X chromosome is currently based on a set 39 STRs (X-STRs) annotated markers [
