In this study, the Federal Bureau of Investigation's human Combined DNA Indentity System (CODIS) loci were used on a rapid, inexpensive microfluidics chip electrophoresis platform to confirm the identity of forensic samples from an aircraft accident site. Absolute allele identification was not achieved with this method, but it was found to be suitable for comparative analysis, as demonstrated by validation of the results and conclusions from cappllary...

"An assay using the Federal Bureau of Investigation's human Combined DNA Identity System (CODIS) primers has been developed for polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based human identity testing. Recent forensic literature has identified several human populations that carry a deletion mutation in the Y-chromosome copy of the amelogenin locus. This is the standard locus used for gender determination in CODIS. Additionally, the amelogenin male PCR products...
