Forensic laboratories leverage Y-chromosomal data to untangle complex DNA mixtures found in evidence, particularly in cases like sexual assaults. Beyond its forensic utility, Y-chromosomal analysis aids in identifying missing persons and confirming paternal relationships. The advent of advanced technologies Yfiler™ and Yfiler™ Plus DNA Amplification Kit has further elevated the efficacy of Y-chromosomal analysis. Recent breakthroughs in cases globally demonstrate the pivotal role of Y-chromosomal data in cracking cold cases, highlighting its significance in modern forensic investigation.
