“…The analysis of the sequence polymorphisms in repeat and flanking regions found at some loci has the potential to increase their discriminative power if appropriate techniques (e.g. DIP-STR typing, massively parallel sequencing) are applied [36,37]: the D6S2906 alleles *10-*16 consisted of two or three subgroups as defined by SNPs in their flanking regions. The more frequent alleles *10 and *12 (0.189 and 0.198, respectively) could be split up into allelic subgroups found in a 1:3:2 and 1:3 relation, respectively according to sequencing results.…”
