A 48-plex autosomal SNP genPlex™ assay for human individualization and relationship testing

Abstract

SNPs are being increasingly used by forensic laboratories. Different platforms have been developed for SNP typing. We describe the GenPlex™ HID system protocol, a new SNP-typing platform developed by Applied Biosystems where 48 of the 52 SNPforID SNPs and amelogenin are included. The GenPlex™ HID system protocol has been successfully tested by a number of forensic laboratories using both ordinary and forensic samples. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
