Concordance and characterization of massively parallel sequencing at 58 STRs in a Tibetan population

ConclusionsOur data suggest that MPS ‐ and CE‐derived alleles are compatible. MPS‐based analysis of the STR data substantially increased the allele diversity and improved the forensic parameters, which clearly demonstrated the advantages of MPS in comparison to CE. With more pooled data and larger‐scale validation, MPS could pl ay a valuable role in forensic genetics and might be an additional tool for routine casework.
