How next generation sequencing resolved a difficult case, leading to the first criminal conviction of its kind

In one recent case, Peter de Knijff and the forensic laboratory staff at Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC), used MPS to decipher highly discriminating data from a challenging mixed sample in a sexual assault case, which ultimately led to the first and only criminal conviction based on MPS data to be reported globally to date. Verogen spoke with Dr. de Knijff recently regarding this interesting case, and its potential ramifications for MPS utilization moving forward.
