Chapter 16, Problem 3RQIS
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Short tandem repeat (STR) is widely used in procedures of DNA profiling. The STRs are short repeating sequences of three to seven bases. These strands are less prone to degradation and are generally collected from the extreme decomposed specimens. STR is ideally multiplied in PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and thus increases the
