To establish a suitable layout for the sample run, Applied Biosystems introduced the use of non-nucleotide linkers to the following primers:  CSF1PO, D2S1338, D13S317, D16S539 and TPOX. Non-nucleotide linkers are placed between the primer and the fluorescent dye during oligonucleotide synthesis.06, 07 This allows for reproducible typing of alleles and provides sufficient spacing between the loci in the multiplex.

Applied Biosystems introduced a Y-STR kit (AmpFℓSTR® Yfiler™) to test for the core Y-STR loci established by the Scientific Working Group on DNA Analysis Methods (SWGDAM).
