ABSTRACT Forensic science is a multidisciplinary field in which experts in different fields collaborate to shed light on crime. Forensic genetics, a discipline to distinguish crime commuters/innocents, has a great place within the scope of forensic sciences. Here, Short Tandem Repeat (STR) analyses are the most frequently conducted forensic genetic analyses applied in interval situations such as kinship determinations, parenting tests, comparison of evidence obtained from the crime scene and/or suspects, or identification of individuals.
