Abstract

The aim of the study is to demonstrate the power obtained by combining autosomal and Y chromosome STRs in certain case scenarios. Although autosomal STRs are in use and highly informative, Y STRs are extremely useful and provide additional information that could not be provided by autosomal STRs alone.
