The multiplex PCR system produces small-sized amplicons for 17 forensic STRs and amelogenin.
STR genotyping results obtained from the MiSeq showed full concordance with those from CE.
Sequence variations were detected in D2S1338, D3S1358, D8S1179, D21S11 and vWA.
Successful profiles could be obtained with mixtures up to a 1:19 ratio using NGS analysis.
This system will be useful to obtain full STR profiles from degraded DNA samples using NGS.
