Abstract

We have recently developed a sequencing method using a second generation sequencing platform. We typed 111 samples for one or two of 10 short tandem repeat loci and discovered a high degree of sequence diversity. Most variation was seen in the D21S11 locus and least variation was found in the D18S51 locus. Our sequencing method gave a better resolution than traditional capillary electrophoresis methods, and also better resolution than other techniques, such as pyrosequencing and mass spectrometry. We found that poly-A/T stretches longer than six bases decreased the quality of reads, making sequence composition an important factor for the quality of sequencing results.
