Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have become popular in forensic genetics as an alternative to short tandem repeats (STRs). The Precision ID Identity Panel (Thermo Fisher Scientific), consisting of 90 autosomal SNPs and 34 Y-chromosomal SNPs, enabled human identification studies on global populations through next-generation sequencing (NGS). However, most previous studies on the panel have used the Ion Torrent platform, and there are few reports on the Southeast Asian population.

Article Synopsis
- Microhaplotypes (microhaps) are new genetic markers designed to enhance forensic identification, addressing the limitations of traditional methods like STRs and SNPs.
- This study introduced a custom MPS panel that can simultaneously amplify 56 microhaps and includes a web-based tool called Visual Microhap for streamlined data analysis.
- Analysis of these microhaps across 286 samples from diverse populations showed their effectiveness in human identification, revealing distinct group differences and suggesting improved forensic application compared to standard STRs.
