Genetic polymorphism of 22 autosomal STR markers in Paraguay

      Autosomal Short Tandem Repeats markers (aSTRs) are widely used for human identification, paternity, crime scene caseworks and for population genetics studies [

      ]. Typically 15 aSTR were included in commercial formats for years, but more recently additional markers have been added to new validated kits gaining valuable information of forensic interest [
