Validation of new STR typing kits are often time consuming which can delay implementation of new technology. STR-validator is a free and open source software tool designed to help forensic genetic laboratories evaluate the data. Lectures and exercises will provide the necessary skills for experimental design and efficient evaluation. Validation according to ENFSI recommendations/SWGDAM guidelines is exemplified using real data. Practical examples will highlight quality control of the data and result. Current possibilities to analyze data from massively parallel sequencing (MPS) will be discussed. The goal is to provide hands-on experience with the software.
This workshop is suitable for DNA analysts/technicians, QA/QC managers, consultants, and other interested individuals. A minimal background in forensic human identification testing would be beneficial. Programming or statistical background is not required.
