Individual identification from mixed-blood spots by using four cells with single-cell genomic analysis.

We endeavored to identify individuals from mixed-blood spots by conducting a singlecell genomic analysis on four cells. Based on the electropherograms of 15 STRs (short tandem repeats) and amelogenin, we selected samples presumed to be nonmixed. These samples were then segregated into two groups and combined within eachgroup.
