medical conditions, and participants that may be too ill to continue. DNA Analysis: There are many test available for dna analysis such as STR “ Short Tandem Repeats” , Y-STR which is the same thing as the STR but used specifically for males Y-chromosomes usually used in sexual assault cases, Mini - STR is an alternative way to test smaller fragments of DNA.
