The Study of 95 Identity SNPs for Qatari population using Massively Parallel Sequencing (MPS)

For the last three decades, Short Tandem Repeat (STR) markers and capillary electrophoresis-based DNA sequencers have been the gold standard technology for human identification testing in the forensic field. However, Massively Parallel Sequencing (MPS) has the potential to replace the current CE-based technology. All laboratories globally, including the Qatar Forensic Laboratory, have stringent strategies and regulations in improving and processing high numbers of reference and casework samples, using instrumentation and technologies to maximize output using new STR kits consisting of larger number of loci.
