Genetic polymorphism and forensic application of 23 autosomal STR loci in the Han population of Panjin City, Liaoning Province, Northeastern China.

Background: Short tandem repeats (STRs) are consecutive repetition of a repeat motif and widely used in forensic medicine and human genetics because of their high polymorphism.

Subjects And Methods: In the current study, 23 autosomal STR loci were genotyped from 1263 unrelated healthy individuals living in Panjin City, Liaoning Province, Northeastern China using the VeriFiler Express PCR Amplification Kit. The population comparison was performed between the Panjin Han population and the other relevant groups to further explore the structure of Panjin Han and its relationship with the other groups.

Molecular identification and phylogenetic analysis of Papaver based on ITS2 barcoding.

In forensic cases suspected to involve Papaver somniferum, species identification is key to the investigation. To accurately detect and identify P. somniferum as well as common adulterants of the same genus, 19 internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) sequences of P.

Forensic features and genetic structure of 20 autosomal STR loci in the Han population of Ningde City, Southeastern China.

Background: Short tandem repeat (STR) loci are widely used in forensic medicine and population genetics.

Aim: To profile 20 autosomal STR loci using the SureID 21 G Human STR Identification Kit.

Subjects And Methods: Samples were obtained from 1412 unrelated Chinese Han individuals from Ningde City, Southeastern China and 20 autosomal STR loci were profiled using the SureID 21 G Human STR Identification Kit.

[Species Identification Based on Morphological Variability of Femur].

Objective: To study the morphological characteristics of femurs of adult human and 11 kinds of adult animals from cattle, horses, pigs, goats, sheep, dogs, cats, rabbits, geese, ducks, chickens, and to establish an effective species identification method among various species.

Methods: The 4 cm mid-diaphyseal segment of the femur from adult human (older than 20 years old) at autopsy was obtained. Addi-tionally, the 4 cm ones from 11 kinds of adult animals were obtained.
