I have a case with a male/female mixture, but no male DNA profile was yielded from standard nuclear STR (Profiler/COfiler). Is it still possible to obtain a male profile?

Yes, ReliaGene has used Y-STR technology to obtain a male profile in some of these cases. A minimum amount of male DNA must be present, however.
