Identification and Characterization of Nine Novel X-Chromosomal Short Tandem Repeats on Xp21.1, Xq21.31, and Xq23 Regions

The application of X-chromosomal short tandem repeats (X-STRs) has been recognized as a powerful tool in complex kinship testing. To support further development of X-STR analysis in forensic use, we identified nine novel X-STRs, which could be clustered into three linkage groups on Xp21.1, Xq21.31,...
