Abstract:
The EX20+4Y System is a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based amplification kit that enables typing of 19 autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) loci (i.e., CSF1PO, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D21S11, D3S1358, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, FGA, TH01, TPOX, vWA, Penta D, Penta E, D2S1338, D19S433, D12S391, D6S1043), four widely used Y chromosome-specific STR (Y-STR) loci (DYS458, DYS456, DYS391, DYS635), and amelogenin. In this study, this multiplex system was validated for sensitivity of detection, DNA mixtures, inhibitor tolerance, species specificity based on the Scientific Working Group on DNA Analysis methods (SWGDAM) developmental validation guidelines, and the Chinese criteria for the human fluorescent STR multiplex PCR reagent. The results show that the EX20+4 System is a robust and reliable amplification kit which can be used for human identification testing.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
