Application and research progress of autosomal InDel markers in forensic genetics
Insertion/deletion polymorphism(InDel)markers are a class of length polymorphic genetic markers widely distributed in genomes,which have the characteristics of both STR and SNP.InDel markers can be applied to the work like individual identification of degraded materials and the identification of complex relationship.It can narrow the scope of investigation by ancestral inference,which have important practical value in forensic genetics inspection and analysis.With the development of research on Multi-InDel and Multi-allelic InDel markers,the identification efficiency of InDel markers continues to improve,and their forensic application scenarios are also expanded.This review summarized the application and development of InDel markers in forensic genetics,and explored the development in the future.
