The popularity of dogs as human companions explains why these pets regularly come into focus in forensic cases such bite attacks or accidents. Canine evidence, e.g., dog hairs, can also act a link between the victim and suspect crime case due to close contact their owners. In line with DNA identification, individualization from scene evidence is mainly based on analysis short tandem repeat (STR) markers. However, when profile does not match reference, additional information regarding...
Predicting the outward appearance of dogs via their DNA, also known as Canine DNA Phenotyping, is a young, emerging field research in forensic genetics. The few previous studies published this respect were restricted to consecutive analysis single markers, process that time- and sample-consuming therefore not viable option for limited specimens. Here, we report on development evaluation Massively Parallel Sequencing (MPS) based molecular genetic assay, LASSIE MPS Panel. This panel aims...
