Y-STR Testing: Enhancing Sexual Assault Workflows

This document describes how incorporating Y chromosome, short tandem report (Y-STR) testing into a sexual assault workflow can be a powerful tool for detecting male DNA foreign to the victim when traditional, autosomal, STR testing fails to aid the investigation. This resource also discusses the application of Y-STR testing to aid in the investigation and identification of a suspect.

Deploying DNA Evidence from Sexual Assault Kits

Our Mission

Funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative aims to create a coordinated community response that ensures just resolution to sexual assault cases. Through this program, funding is provided to support multidisciplinary community response teams engaged in the comprehensive reform of jurisdictions approaches to sexual assault cases resulting from evidence found in previously unsubmitted sexual assault kits.
