What Does STR Stand For?
STR stands for Short Tandem Repeat DNA Analysis
STR, or Short Tandem Repeat DNA Analysis, is a molecular biology technique used to analyze specific regions of DNA that contain short sequences repeated in tandem. This method is widely employed in forensic science, paternity testing, and genetic mapping due to its ability to generate highly variable genetic markers. STR analysis provides robust and reliable results, enabling the identification and comparison of genetic profiles among individuals.
