Recovery of whole mitochondrial genome from compromised samples via multiplex PCR and massively parallel sequencing.

Future Science OA 2018 October
In forensic casework, compromised samples often possess limited or degraded nuclear DNA, rendering mitochondrial DNA a more feasible option for forensic DNA analyses. The emergence of massively parallel sequencing (MPS) has enabled the recovery of extensive sequence information from very low quantities of DNA. We have developed a multiplex PCR method that amplifies the complete mitochondrial genome in a range of forensically relevant samples including single cells, cremated remains, bone, maggot and hairs isolated from dust bunnies. Following library preparation, MPS yields complete or nearly complete mitochondrial genome coverage for all samples. To confirm concordance between sample types and between sequencing platforms, we compared sequencing results from hair and buccal swabs from two references. Low initial DNA input into the multiplex PCR allows for conservation of precious DNA while MPS maximizes recovery of genetic information.
