Abstract

Short tandem repeats (STRs) are the most commonly used forms of genetic information in forensic identification. In recent times, advances in the information on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have raised the possibility that these markers could replace the forensically established STRs. In this work, we conducted comparative simulation studies that allowed us to estimate the number of SNPs needed if these markers were used instead of STRs in criminal cases and paternity investigations.
