STR Data Analysis
Specialized
allele-calling software eliminates the need for visual comparisons to assign alleles,
making the DNA-typing process faster, easier and more accurate. However, analysis of
STR data is more than allele calling. Expert systems software increases the efficiency
or effectiveness of genotyping by automatically interpreting and reviewing STR data.
Expert systems also can objectively evaluate DNA mixtures in seconds, flag potential
contamination, summarize data and generate reports.
Expert Systems Software
FSS-i3™ Expert Systems Software
The FSS-i3™ Expert Systems Software is comprised of three components: i-STRess,
i-STReam and i-ntegrity. i-STRess quickly and accurately calls alleles and objectively assesses
data quality. The i-STReam module evaluates two-person DNA mixtures and produces a best-fit
major profile to aid in mixture deconvolution. i-ntegrity checks for potential sample-to-sample
contamination within a batch. FSS-i3™ Expert Systems Software is compatible
with GeneMapper® ID, GeneMapper® ID-X and
GeneMarker® HID
as well as several LIMS systems such as StaCS.
