STR Nomenclature: Building a Common Language for Forensic Genomics
As next-generation sequencing (NGS) becomes more commonplace in forensic genetics, one of the critical questions facing NGS-equipped laboratories is: how can scientists consistently interpret, share and compare short tandem repeats (STR) sequencing data? At the center of this challenge is STR nomenclature – the system used to describe STR alleles. Insights from experts such as […]
