Background: Massively parallel sequencing (MPS) technology has recently been introduced in research, clinical diagnostics, and forensics. MPS enables determination of the genotypes of multiple short tandem repeat (STR) markers and to determine nucleotide sequence variations, additionally.
Objective: To improve STR analysis and a paternity index, a new, smaller-sized STR panel was designed that includes the SE33 locus.
Methods: This study performed MPS using an STR panel including the SE33 marker in 101 Koreans. The concordance study was conducted by comparing the data obtained from the MPS assay with the results of a capillary electrophoresis (CE)-based method.
Results: In this study, an in-house MPS panel is designed that incorporates the 20 Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) loci and the Penta D, Penta E, and SE33 markers for enhanced discriminatory ability. The data obtained via MPS analysis were compared with CE data to confirm concordance. Fifty previously unreported alleles were detected through the MPS analysis. Three new SNP variations in the flanking region were also identified. Statistical analysis demonstrated that the SE33 marker was most effectively determined the match probability (PM) and typical paternity index (TPI). In the sensitivity study, concentrations as low as 80 pg could be used to obtain full and concordant profiles.
Conclusions: We designed a new, smaller-sized STR panel that includes the SE33 locus to improve STR analysis and the paternity index. Various new alleles were identified in SE33, indicating a high degree of polymorphism. The panel is expected to provide valid data for discrimination of unidentified bodies.

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.

The selection of an appropriate STR allelic frequency database is the prerequisite for assessing the evidentiary value of DNA evidence. Four data sets comprising 50, 100, 200, and 500 samples were evaluated in 21 autosomal STR markers in the Indian and the Bahrain population. Allelic richness showed an increasing trend with the increase in sample size i.

Background: Short tandem repeat (STR) markers are widely used in forensic DNA analysis due to their ability to provide automated and standardised typing. However, incorrect STR typing can have a significant impact on forensic outcomes.
Aim: In this study, we detected drop-out alleles at the SE33 locus in a putative father-son pair using the Microreader 28 A ID System.

The Tibetan people are ancient and populous, constituting the seventh-largest of the fifty-five ethnic minority groups in China. The Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture (NTQAP), situated on the border of northwest and southwest China, has its distinct group relationships. Short tandem repeat (STR) is extremely polymorphic and extensively used in the application of forensic medicine and population genetics.
