Electropherograms of Multiplex 1-3 for a Native American and an East Asian individual, using varying amounts of initial DNA template. (A) Native American individual of haplogroup C1*(xC1a); (B) East Asian individual of haplogroup R9. The three multiplex assays were each performed on five different starting amounts of DNA template, ranging from 0.25 ng to 0.001 ng. Grey circles indicate marker dropouts that occur at the very low DNA concentration whereas grey arrows indicate cases where allele calling becomes difficult due to artefacts that come up at the low DNA concentrations.
