Ion Torrent Precision ID GlobalFiler™ NGS STR Panel of forensically relevant Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) from genomic DNA.


Service provided: DNA extraction from cell pellet + sequenced with the GlobalFiler STR panel 33 markers + comparative analysis with the DSMZ* database (ATCC, DSMZ, JCRB, and RIKEN) in reference to other cell lines using the following loci: D5S818, D13S317, D7S820, D16S539, VWA, TH01, AM, TPOX, and CSF1PO.

Cost: $234 internal (2x Viral Load clinical rate, until rates are re-done and approved)

Note: In order to bring the cost down for you, samples will be run in batches of 12. If you submit 12 cell pellets these will immediately enter the queue. Any sample submission >12 will be batched with others and may take 3 months.


The panel targets 33 markers:

• 20 autosomal STR CODIS and Expanded CODIS loci

• 1 Y-chromosome STR locus

• 1 autosomal Non-CODIS 02 locus

• 3 autosomal Low Probability of Identity (PI) (0.09) STR loci

• 5 autosomal Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) STR loci

• 1 indel polymorphic marker on the Y chromosome (Y indel)

• X and Y amelogenin, the sex determining marker
