Challenges in the Identification of WWII Human Remains : Usage of Y-STR and MiniSTR Approach

During the last few years, international scientific team was working on the challenging topic: DNA identification of the skeletal remains from the two WWII mass graves from Slovenia. Initially, PowerPlex 16 was successfully used for obtaining this goal. Additional analysis of Y-STRs markers was performed in the second phase of the project. Using this method, some of previously obtained lower matchings were confirmed and some of them were rejected. But in some cases both of those kits could not provide us any useful information. In those cases, we have performed analysis using two different miniSTR kits.
