In this study, allele frequencies for 29 autosomal short tandem repeats (STRs) and haplotype frequencies for 17 Y-chromosomal STRs of an Afghan population have been generated. Samples from 348 men and women originating from Afghanistan were analysed for the autosomal STRs, and the combined match probability was estimated to be 7.5 × 10(-37). One hundred and sixty-nine men were analysed for the Y-chromosomal STRs, which resulted in 132 different haplotypes and a haplotype diversity of 0.995.

Massively Parallel Sequencing (MPS) has gained interest in the forensic community over the past decade. Most of the published MPS methods focus on specialty applications intended for use in a limited number of samples with protocols that are relatively laborious. Recent developments using Reverse-Complement PCR enable an efficient MPS protocol suited for routine analysis of high numbers of samples.

Identification of human remains is a challenge in forensic genetics without relatives or personal items available. In Slovenia, a Konfin II mass grave from the Second World War (WWII) was found, containing skeletal remains of 65 victims. The archival documents detailing victims' information describe 45 persons of which 33 could be considered Germanic and 12 Slavic.

In this study, we genotyped 939 unrelated healthy individuals to investigate the genetic polymorphisms of 38 Y chromosome short tandem repeats(Y-STRs) loci included in the Yfiler™ Platinum kit in the Hui population of Shaanxi Province. Comprehensive population comparisons were performed using analysis of molecular variance(AMOVA), multidimensional scaling(MDS), and molecular evolutionary genetics analysis(MEGA) to explore population relationships. The allele frequencies of the single-copy loci ranged from 0.

Article Synopsis
- This study explores the advantages of using massively parallel sequencing (MPS) over conventional capillary electrophoresis (CE) for analyzing short tandem repeats (STRs) in forensic genetics, especially by investigating both the core repeat regions and their flanking regions.
- A new MPS system was developed that genotyped 350 male individuals from the Chinese Han population, focusing on 42 commonly used autosomal and Y-chromosomal STRs, and categorized them based on various sequence and length metrics.
- The findings indicated that sequence variations, particularly in A-STRs, significantly enhance identification capabilities, with 58 observed variations in the flanking regions mostly affecting A-STR analysis; the concordance between MPS and CE methods
