The height of the peaks was measured in rfu (relative fluorescence unit): it was proportional to the quantity of PCR products detected. A profile was usable if the number of complete Short Tandem Repeat (STR) markers was greater than 5, according to the requirements of the French database Fichier National Automatisé Empreintes Génétiques. A profile was complete if all STR markers (22 STR) were amplified and present. Degradation index indicated the quality of the DNA (value close to 0: complete degradation; value close to 1: no degradation). Human gender determination was performed by analyzing the amelogenin gene which is common to both X and Y chromosomes. If the two quality sensors (Q and S) were visible on the electrophoregram, it meant that the PCR had been successful and there was no inhibition. 2/2 indicates the number of usable profiles per replicate. Results are representative of at least two independent experiments.
