Abstract
In forensic examination it is a standard to take vaginal swabs from victims of sexual assault for further molecular genetic analysis. Laboratories then are usually confronted with mixtures of lots of female and only a small amount of male DNA. Nowadays it is possible to work with specific Y chromosomal markers after DNA extraction by differential lysis. The determined ratio of autosomal DNA and Y chromosomal DNA can be used to identify the possibility of generating a male profile in these samples.Mesh:
