3.5. STR profiling
A summary of the STR profiling results is provided in Table 3. All
conventional samples yielded full, single source nDNA profiles for
the 30 cases of the study. The nDNA profiles obtained from the
conventional samples were compared to the profiles obtained from
the toenail samples using profile completeness. Out of the 30
toenail samples analysed, 26 were 100% complete, single source
profiles matching those of the conventional sample for that case,
equating to an 86% success rate for full, single source profiles.
Two toenail samples returned profiles with greater than 100%
