Characterisation of the impact of inhibition on STR profiles: Causes, mechanisms and consequences

This study investigates inhibition in more detail by comparing patterns of inhibition with known characteristics of an STR kit. By looking at the balance of the loci within STR profiles under different inhibitory conditions and assessing the impact of altering PCR conditions such as annealing temperature on locus performance, hypotheses of inhibitory mechanisms can be formed.
