Genetic Resolution of Applied Biosystems ™ Precision ID Ancestry Panel for Seven Asian Populations

The introduction of massively parallel sequencing (MPS) technology within the forensic laboratories has become a solution to simultaneous analyses of thousands of SNPs [1]. The development of ancestry informative marker (AIM) assays is valuable in forensic genetics, because AIMs can provide investigative leads in cases of unknown individuals. Studies using hundreds of markers suggest worldwide populations can be grouped based on allele frequency differences, closely corresponding to their continental distribution [2 –5].
