DNA short tandem repeats (STR) are sequences repeated in DNA. Analysis of STRs can be used to compare alleles at specific loci in DNA between two or more samples for identification purposes.

Short tandem repeats (STRs) are gold-standard genetic loci used for source attribution of evidentiary material in legal matters. Their power lies in their high heterozygosity and large allel...
The study of human development and diseases relies on analysis of samples obtained and manipulated ex vivo. It is critical in such studies to know the provenance and confirm that the identit...
