Evaluation of the Precision ID Whole mtDNA Genome Panel for forensic analyses

Strobl,C.; Eduardoff,M.; Bus,M.; Allen,M.; Parson,W.

Degraded samples require the use of short amplicons, which can be achieved using the Precision ID mtDNA Whole Genome Panel (Thermo Fisher Scientific, CA). This kit comprises 162 amplicons with an average targeted fragment size of 175 bp, suitable for most forensic samples. The selected samples were processed as routine forensic caseworks and yielded limited or no result with conventional Sanger Type Sequencing.
