Title: GeneMarker® HID: A Reliable Software Tool for the Analysis of Forensic STR Data
Journal: Journal of Forensic Sciences  Volume:56  Issue:1  Dated:January 2011  Pages:29-35
Author(s): Mitchell M. Holland, Ph.D., M.Sc.; Walther Parson, Ph.D.
Date Published: January 2011
Annotation: GeneMarker® HID was assessed as a software tool for the analysis of forensic short tandem repeat (STR) data and as a resource for analysis of custom STR multiplexes.
Abstract: The software is easy to learn and use, and includes design features that have the potential to reduce user fatigue. To illustrate reliability and accuracy, STR data from both single-source and mixture profiles were analyzed and compared to profiles interpreted with another software package. A total of 1898 STR profiles representing 28,470 loci and more than 42,000 alleles were analyzed with 100 percent concordance. GeneMarker HID was also used to successfully analyze data generated from a custom STR multiplex, with simplified and rapid implementation. Finally, the impact of the user-friendly design features of the software was assessed through a time scale study. The results suggest that laboratories can reduce the time required for data analysis by at least 25 percent when using GeneMarker HID. (Published Abstract) Figures and references
