STR analysis

STR analysis, or Short Tandem Repeat analysis, is a DNA testing method that examines specific regions in our DNA where short sequences of bases are repeated many times. The number of repeats varies between individuals, making these regions unique identifiers. By comparing these patterns, forensic scientists can match DNA samples from crime scenes to individuals with high accuracy. It's a reliable tool for identifying people in criminal investigations, paternity tests, and for verifying biological relationships. The process is highly precise because the repeated patterns are highly variable and easy to analyze using specialized laboratory techniques.
