A review of mitochondrial SNP determination using allele-specific PCR in forensic identification

Allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (AS-PCR) is a rapid and cost-effective single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping method compared to multiplex or real-time PCR. The SNPs occurring in mitochondrial DNA (mtSNPs) is the most abundant polymorphism in humans and can be used in human identi...
