Table 4.

Overview of STR markers showing the total number of observed alleles using two different STR analysis technologies. MPS increased heterozygosity by identifying 181 homozygous genotypes as isometric heterozygotes. Isometric alleles, also known as isoalleles, are alleles of identical length but different internal sequence
