Article Synopsis
- The original CODIS database using 13 core STR loci has been effective for suspect matching, but more loci may enhance identification accuracy.
- The PowerPlex(®) Fusion System can amplify 23 different loci, allowing for profiles that meet both expanded CODIS and European Standard Set requirements.
- Testing confirmed the PowerPlex(®) Fusion System's reliability and quality, making it a strong tool for human identification in forensic applications.
The PowerPlex® Y23 System combines the seventeen Y-STR loci in current commercially available Y-STR kits (DYS19, DYS385a/b, DYS389I/II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, DYS437, DYS438, DYS439, DYS448, DYS456, DYS458, DYS635, and Y-GATA-H4) with six new highly discriminating Y-STR loci (DYS481, DYS533, DYS549, DYS570, DYS576, and DYS643). These six new loci have higher gene diversities than most of the loci in other commercial Y-STR analysis kits, allowing for further distinction between unrelated male individuals. In addition, the inclusion of two rapidly mutating Y-STR loci may allow for the discrimination of related individuals.
