| Research Abstract |
The problem with which forensic scientists have recently been confronted involves the technical difficulty of analyzing degraded DNA samples. We designed minimultiplex PCR systems using single-base extension reactions to identify Japanese Y chromosome haplogroups and mitochondrial DNA haplogroups. We selected a group of 22 Y chromosome single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) and 46 mitochondrial DNA SNPs, respectively. We designed primers to render amplicons of <150 bp. Applying these systems, we classified the Japanese population into haplogroups and confirmed the applicability of these system in forensic degraded DNA analysis.
