title: Short Tandem Repeat loci analysis in forensic casework.
abstract: The development of polymerase chain reaction typing method has enhanced the possibilities of genetic identification of biological evidence samples for forensic caseworks. The authors report the use of multiplex amplification reactions associating several short tandem repeat loci. These amplification systems produce reliable results and a sufficient incrimination power to send the cases before the court.
