Applied Biosystems™ Precision ID Identity Panel

Applied Biosystems™ Precision ID Identity Panel

The Applied Biosystems Precision ID Identity Panel is one of the first next-generation sequencing (NGS) solutions for human identification that uniquely identifies pristine or degraded samples. The multiplexed panel of SNPs provides discrimination of individuals similar to STR genotype match probabilities used by forensic analysts (between 1x10-31 and 6x10-35). High discrimination power is achieved by using 34 upper Y-Clade SNPs and 90 autosomal SNPs that have high heterozygosity and low fixation index (Fst) as described in publications by Dr. Kenneth Kidd from Yale University and the SNPForID Consortium (1-3). The panel design has been optimized for use with degraded or challenging forensic samples using only 1 ng of starting DNA input, although acceptable performance has been observed with sub-nanogram input quantities as low as 100 pg. The autosomal markers have an average amplicon length of 132 nucleotides and the Y-markers are 141 nucleotides in length on average. Using a small sample input of as little as 1 ng of DNA, you can go from sample extraction to genotypes in less than a two days using the Precision ID NGS System and Converge Software for analysis.

For use with equipment: Ion GeneStudio S5 System, Ion PGM™ System, Ion S5™ XL System, Ion OneTouch™ 2 System, Ion Chef™ System.
