The effect of DNA degradation on CE-STR profiles for (a) an untreated sample exhibiting no decay, (b) a sample degraded with 24 mU rDNase I exhibiting moderate decay, and (c) a sample exposed to UV radiation for 105 min exhibiting both fast decay and drop-out of high molecular weight alleles. All profiles were obtained from the same whole blood donor, amplified with the GlobalFiler™ PCR Amplification Kit at 0.25 ng, and injected for 15 s on the Applied Biosystems 3500
