Sequence‐based Saudi population data for the SE33 locus

Abstract

This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. This version will undergo additional copyediting, typesetting and review before it is published in its final form, but we are providing this version to give early visibility of the article.

Massively parallel sequencing of 25 autosomal STRs including SE33 in four population groups for forensic applications

“…Since it has been analyzed using various commercial CE panels such as the PowerPlex Fusion 6C (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) and GlobalFiler (Thermo Fisher Scientific), a lot of length-based data have been accumulated. However, because the commercially available MPS panel is limited and SE33 is difficult to analyze, the sequence-based data of SE33 are insufficient compared with other markers 12 , 13 . In addition, although SE33 is included in the Verogen’s ForenSeq panel, it has been analyzed independently and manually using additional bioinformatics tools such as STRait Razor 2.0 because the ForenSeq Universal Analysis Software (UAS, Verogen) does not support the analysis of SE33 12 .…”
