In a recent article in this journal [
[1]
] concerning an ambiguously characterized STR locus the authors write “…emphasizes
an obvious need for a properly constructed framework for the genomic identification
of forensic STRs.” Coincidentally, while examining the properties of some non-CODIS
STRs, it transpired that the use of D15S659 could lead to unintended conclusions if
what follows goes unheeded. Below all genomic positions and intervals cited are based
upon genomic reference GRCh37/hg19 and all mentioned websites were accessed on 5 July
2016.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
