This is the first study that characterizes the sequence-based allelic variations of 22 autosomal Short Tandem Repeat (aSTR) loci in a population dataset
A likelihood ratio (LR) system is defined as the entire pipeline of the measurement and interpretation processes where probabilistic genotyping software (PGS)

The sequencing of STR markers provides additional information present in the underlying sequence variation that is typically masked by traditional fragment
In this work we introduce a new statistical methodology for empirically examining the validity of model-based Likelihood Ratio (LR) systems by applying a
