A 48-plex Autosomal SNP GenPlex Assay for Human Individualization and Relationship Testing

SNPs are being increasingly used by forensic laboratories. Different platforms have been developed for SNP typing. We describe the GenPlex™ HID system protocol, a new SNP-typing platform developed by Applied Biosystems where 48 of the 52 SNPfor ID SNPs and amelogenin are included. The GenPlex™ HID system protocol has been successfully tested by a number of forensic laboratories using both ordinary and forensic samples.
