Abstract: | In some forensic cases, nuclear DNA is degraded and cannot be analyzed. In such a case mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is usually used in forensic cases for identification because of its special features as high number of copies per cell, maternal inheritance and high mutation rate. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) represent the most abundant class of human polymorphisms. The aim of this study was optimization of 10 mtDNA SNPs by using SNaPshot minisequencing technique on ABI310 genetic analyser in forensic molecular genetics laboratory. At the end of this study, the optimization of minisequencing technique was done by changing some assay parameters. Also, during the optimization of 10 mtSNP loci in our laboratory. |
