Summary

High-resolution melting (HRM) analysis offers a faster, cheaper, and more efficient method for Y-chromosome short tandem repeat (STR) genotyping in forensic screening. This novel approach improves DNA detection sensitivity and genotype accuracy compared to traditional capillary electrophoresis.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic genetics
  • Molecular biology
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Current capillary electrophoresis (CE) methods for short tandem repeat (STR) genotyping are laborious, time-consuming, and costly.
  • There is a need for advanced molecular strategies for efficient identification of forensic biological evidence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate high-resolution melting (HRM) analysis for Y-chromosome STR genotyping in forensic applications.
  • To assess the reproducibility, sensitivity, and discrimination power of HRM for Y-STR loci.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized HRM analysis for genotyping 10 Y-STR loci.
  • Investigated reproducibility across dilutions, sensitivity down to 0.25 ng DNA, and discrimination power.
  • Developed and tested a triplex Y-chromosome STR HRM assay.

Main Results:

  • HRM revealed more genotypes than CE with enhanced uniformity in replicate and diluted samples.
  • Successful DNA detection was achieved at concentrations as low as 0.25 ng.
  • The HRM assay efficiently discriminated mixed samples and can be completed within 2 hours at low cost.

Conclusions:

  • HRM analysis is a sensitive, reproducible, and cost-effective tool for Y-chromosome STR genotyping.
  • The developed HRM assay provides a foundation for multiplex assays and shows promise as a screening tool in forensic practice.
