Hybridization Enrichment to Improve Forensic Mitochondrial DNA Analysis of Highly Degraded Human Remains

Forensic mitochondrial DNA analysis of degraded human remains using PCR-based Sanger sequencing of the control region can be challenging when endogenous DNA is highly fragmented, damaged and at very low concentration. Hybridization enrichment coupled with massively parallel sequencing (MPS) offers a...
