Concordance of mitochondrial DNA sequencing method on bloodstains using Ion PGMTM

Multiple parallel sequencing (MPS) technology has led to revolutionary changes in many fields in recent years. Using this new method, gigabytes of sequencing data can be acquired at relatively low costs. Thus, forensic geneticists can obtain more information from traditional forensic identification markers and analyze multiple markers simultaneously to reduce the amount of sample DNA used and increase the statistical weight of evidence [1].
