26 General Conclusion Low hands-on time in the lab Fully automatic workflow is easy to handle, which is crucial for the implementation of MPS into forensic routine applications Software improvement required

27 Conclusion Applied Biosystems Globalfiler Mixture ID Higher imbalanced STR genotypes due to large multiplex consisting 113 markers Drop-outs in the concordance and sensitivity experiments Increased stutters relative to values expected to CE (7.4 % to 31.6 %)

28 Conclusion Applied Biosystems Globalfiler NGS STR Panels More balanced STR genotype coverage No drop-outs observed in concordance and sensitivity studies Lower average stutter ratios (6.3 % to 19.4 %)

29 Additional optimization steps that are important for the implementation of MPS into forensic routine applications: More balanced assay amplification performance of high-throughput multiplex Low amplification performance of sex-typing markers (AMELY, DYS391 important for mixture analysis) Frequent split-peaks (e.g. in FGA, D5S2800, D6S474 and D18S51) showing high coverage Provide sequence information of flanking regions (according to Parson et al. FSIG (2016), ISFG MPS STR Considerations)
