DNA-assisted identification of historical remains requires the genetic analysis of highly
degraded DNA, along with a comparison to DNA from known relatives. This can be achieved …

Technological advances in sequencing and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
genotyping microarray technology have facilitated advances in forensic analysis beyond …

Forensic genetic genealogy (FGG) has primarily relied upon dense single nucleotide
polymorphism (SNP) profiles from forensic samples or unidentified human remains queried …

The FORensic Capture Enrichment (FORCE) panel is an all-in-one SNP panel for forensic
applications. This panel of 5422 markers encompasses common, forensically relevant SNPs …

Next generation sequencing (NGS)-based single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
genotyping is widely used in the field of forensics. SNP genotyping data from several NGS …

Instead of traditional short tandem repeat (STR) profiling, the genetic genealogy method,
which uses hundreds of thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spread …

DNA from biological forensic samples can be highly fragmented and present in limited
quantity. When DNA is highly fragmented, conventional PCR based Short Tandem Repeat …

Background Although the primary objective of forensic DNA analyses of unidentified human
remains is positive identification, cases involving historical or archaeological skeletal …

Forensic samples that contain too little template DNA or are too degraded require alternate
genetic marker analyses or approaches to what is currently used for routine casework …

Recently a number of high profile crime cases (eg the “Golden State Killer”) have
successfully been solved or given new leads with the use of genome wide DNA data in …
