The unique structure of the X chromosome shaped by evolution has led to the present
gender-specific genetic differences, which are not shared by its counterpart, the Y …

Short tandem repeat (STR) markers are the cornerstone of forensic identity and kinship
testing. Markers located on the X and the Y chromosome can complement those found on …

Forensic genetic laboratories perform an increasing amount of genetic analyses of the X
chromosome, in particular to solve complex cases of kinship analysis. For some biological …

Abstract StatsX (Statistics for X-STR) v2. 0 is developed to facilitate the workflow for analysis
of population data on X-chromosomal short tandem repeat (X-STR) marker. The interactive …

Studies of human genetic variation predominantly use short tandem repeats (STRs) and
single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) but Insertion deletion polymorphisms (Indels) are …

Family studies can be used to measure the genetic distance between same-chromosome
(syntenic) STRs in order to detect physical linkage or linkage disequilibrium. However …

Microsatellite genetic markers are the gold standard for human genetic identification.
Forensic analyses around the world are carried out through protocols using the analysis of …

The use of genetic markers located on the X chromosome has seen a significant increase in
the last years and their utility has been well studied. This paper describes the software …

The X-chromosomal short tandem repeat (X-STR) has the advantage in female traces
identification against male contamination and in complex kinship cases. In this study, a total …

The forensic DNA profiling technique has tremendously contributed to forensic human
identification, an important aspect in forensic investigations. In instances whereby …
