Forensic DNA Open Dataset

This dataset consists of single source and mixture samples which were genotyped/sequenced with kits targeting Forensic DNA markers. More information specific to the kit and or method used can be found in the README text files included in each zipped file.The CE-STR kits reported for the single source samples include: Applied Biosystems GlobalFiler, Applied Biosystems Y-Filer Plus, Promega PowerPlex Fusion 6C, Promega PowerPlex Y23The CE profiles for single source samples are also included in a spreadsheet.The following CE-STR kit is reported for the mixture samples: Promega PowerPlex Fusion 6CThe sequencing kits reported for the mixture and single source samples include: Verogen ForenSeq DNA Signature Prep Kit, Promega PowerSeq 46GY, Thermo Fisher Applied Biosystems Precision ID GlobalFiler NGS STR Panel v2The single source samples only are reported for: Promega PowerSeq CRM Nested SystemThis data was produced with approval from the NIST Research Protections Office. It is intended for research, training, and educational purposes only and could potentially contain errors due to limited review prior to uploading. This data should not be used to identify the donor of the profile or uploaded/searched versus public or law enforcement DNA databases. Certain commercial equipment, instruments, or materials are identified in this dataset in order to specify the experimental procedure adequately. Such identification is not intended to imply recommendation or endorsement by NIST, nor is it intended to imply that the materials or equipment identified are necessarily the best available for the purpose.
