An Autosomal STR panel for population, forensic, and clinical genetics, integrated with CODIS-based analysis of the Iraqi Hawrami ethnic minority.
Short tandem repeats (STRs) are highly polymorphic markers essential for forensic science, population genetics, and clinical diagnostics. We developed a 15-locus autosomal STR panel targeting chromosomes 13, 18, and 21 for multipurpose genetic applications. Fluorescent-labelled primers were designed, and PCR products w...
