The present invention belongs to the field of
biotechnology and relates to a
multiplex amplification
system and kit for 16 Mini Y-STRs, with the amplified fragment length less than 290 bp, which is used to supplement the detection of
large fragment loci greater than 350 bp in conventional Y kits on the market, for samples with amplification failure in trace degraded forensic materials. The present invention involves simultaneously amplifying multiple short tandem repeats in a single PCR
system. Specifically, the loci are 16 Y short tandem repeats with high genetic polymorphisms. Primers are designed and fluorescent groups are labeled respectively. This
system has an extremely high individual recognition rate and non-paternity exclusion rate, a large amount of information, and good compatibility. The present invention fills the current gap in the Y-case market and can be used in combination with all high-locus Y-case kits on the market. When
large fragment amplification fails in trace degraded forensic materials, this system can be used to complement the missing large fragments and obtain complete
genotyping data of more than 35 loci as much as possible. The present invention has higher accuracy and better sensitivity.
