Human identification is difficult enough without mass disasters, degraded and limited DNA and complex mixtures, just to name a few challenging sample types. Luckily, next-generation sequencing, also known as massively parallel sequencing, has evolved to the point of consistently providing high-resolution, high-accuracy results.
