Monozygotic twins are difficult to differentiate in a forensic laboratory because they share
identical short tandem repeat DNA profiles. To help solve this problem, multiple new studies …

Monozygotic (MZ) twins, considered being genetically identical, cannot be distinguished one
from another by forensic short tandem repeat (STR) profiling. The high mutation rate of the …

Monozygotic twins pose a challenge to forensic science due to the lack of standardized tools
to differentiate them within a pair, and thus making it difficult or impossible for a court to …

ABSTRACT DNA fingerprinting has revolutionized the field of forensic investigation in recent
times. The utility of DNA fingerprinting technology in differentiating between monozygotic …

Background Monozygotic (MZ) twins, considered genetically identical, cannot be
distinguished using regular short tandem repeats (STR) typing, thus presenting a challenge …

Monozygotic (MZ) twins, considered to be genetically identical, cannot be distinguished from
one another by standard forensic DNA testing. A recent study employed whole genome …

Monozygotic twins, also known as monovular twins, share an identical genetic heritage
because they are two individuals who derive from the same zygote. For this reason, they …

Monozygotic (MZ) twins discrimination in forensic science remains an unsolved point.
Nowadays, conventional DNA profiling techniques use the analysis of the Short tandem …

Differentiating between monozygotic (MZ) twins remains difficult because they have the
same genetic makeup. Applying the traditional STR genotyping approach cannot …

Identification of individuals within pairs of monozygotic (MZ) twins remains unresolved using
common forensic DNA typing technology. For some criminal cases involving MZ twins as …
