This makes individual identification and parent-child relationships very accurate.<br>Discriminating power: High polymorphism allows accurate identification of DNA profiles of different individuals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>genetic inheritance<br>Mendel&#8217;s laws: STRs are inherited from parent to child according to Mendel&#8217;s laws. That is, each <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nippt\/accuracy\/\">STR<\/a> allele of a child inherits one from each parent.<br>Confirmation of paternity: Paternity testing confirms whether a child has inherited a particular allele from its parents by comparing the alleles of specific <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nippt\/accuracy\/\">STR<\/a> markers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Analytical Simplicity and Accuracy<br>Amplification by PCR: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nippt\/accuracy\/\">STR<\/a> can be easily amplified using PCR (polymerase chain reaction), allowing analysis of even small amounts of DNA samples.<br>High accuracy: Modern DNA analysis techniques allow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nippt\/accuracy\/\">STR<\/a> profiling to be performed with extremely high accuracy, detecting even the smallest differences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Standardization and Databases<br>Standardization: A standard set of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nippt\/accuracy\/\">STR<\/a> markers for forensic DNA profiling is used internationally. This facilitates comparison of results between different laboratories and countries.<br>Comparison with database: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nippt\/accuracy\/\">STR<\/a> profiles are compared with the database to confirm parent-child relationships and personal identification.<br>Specific Uses<br>Paternity: Proves the parent-child relationship by comparing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiro-clinic.or.jp\/nippt\/accuracy\/\">STR<\/a> profiles of the child and the parent and confirming the matching alleles.<br>Forensic: DNA samples from crime scenes are compared with those of suspects for personal identification.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Genetic research: STRs are also widely used in genealogy and population genetics studies.
