DNA analysis from human remains is of immense relevance in missing persons identification and disaster victim identification (DVI). DNA degrades gradually in hard tissues, such as bones and teeth and remains somewhat safe from the effects of high temperature, humidity, pH, geochemical properties of the soil, and microorganisms. . The GlobalFiler ™ kit simultaneously amplifies and detects 21 autosomal loci including CODIS extended set of STR loci. The kits was designed to combine all 21 autosomal STR loci along with a novel male speci?c Y insertion/deletion marker the sex-determining marker, amelogenin.
