Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Highlights • We successfully performed whole genome sequencing on old and heavily degraded forensic DNA trace material. • Coverage data was used to measure degradation levels in different genomic regions. • The data supports that DNA degradation is uniform throughout the genome. • Our findings have implications for future efforts to improve analysis performance for degraded DNA in forensic casework.
