Abstract

Short tandem repeats (STRs), also known as microsatellites, are the primary markers of forensic genetics for developing investigative leads in criminal cases and humanitarian efforts. Their variation in length and sequence provides genetic information even in samples of low quantity and quality, enabling high resolution for identification and attribution purposes, and culminating in the development of national DNA databases. Bruce Budowle and Antti Sajantila reflect on how short tandem repeats (STRs) became the primary markers of forensic genetics, including for developing investigative leads in criminal cases and humanitarian efforts.

短串联重复序列--微卫星如何成为法医遗传学的通行证
短串联重复序列(STR),又称微卫星,是法医遗传学的主要标记,用于开发刑事案件和人道主义工作的调查线索。即使样本数量少、质量差,它们在长度和序列上的变化也能提供遗传信息,从而实现高分辨率的身份识别和归属目的,并最终促成了国家 DNA 数据库的开发。布鲁斯-布道尔(Bruce Budowle)和安蒂-萨扬蒂拉(Antti Sajantila)探讨了短串联重复序列 (STR) 如何成为法医遗传学的主要标记,包括用于开发刑事案件和人道主义工作的调查线索。

期刊介绍: At Nature Reviews Genetics, our goal is to be the leading source of reviews and commentaries for the scientific communities we serve. We are dedicated to publishing authoritative articles that are easily accessible to our readers. We believe in enhancing our articles with clear and understandable figures, tables, and other display items. Our aim is to provide an unparalleled service to authors, referees, and readers, and we are committed to maximizing the usefulness and impact of each article we publish. Within our journal, we publish a range of content including Research Highlights, Comments, Reviews, and Perspectives that are relevant to geneticists and genomicists. With our broad scope, we ensure that the articles we publish reach the widest possible audience. As part of the Nature Reviews portfolio of journals, we strive to uphold the high standards and reputation associated with this esteemed collection of publications.
