Due to the formation of the Qiongzhou Strait by climate change and marine transition,
Hainan island was isolated from the mainland southern China during the Last Glacial …

Sequence alignment is a critical computational problem in various domains, including
genomics, proteomics, and natural language processing. The Needleman‐Wunsch (NW) …

We report here a novel multiplexed DNA analysis system consisting of 20 Alu markers and
Amelogenin for analysis of highly degraded forensic biological samples. The key to the …

A set of 1036 US Population Samples were sequenced using the Illumina ForenSeq DNA
Signature Prep Kit. This sample set has been highly characterized using a variety of marker …

This review analysed public perspective studies on forensic DNA retention in the United
Kingdom and around the world. The studies generally show strong public support for the …

In preparation for the growing use of massively parallel sequencing (MPS) technology to
genotype forensic STRs, a comprehensive genomic audit of 73 STRs was made in 2016 …

Here, we present the results from a population study that evaluated the performance of
massively parallel sequencing (MPS) of short tandem repeats (STRs) with a particular focus …

We describe the estimation of θ (theta) values from autosomal STR sequencing data for five
metapopulations. The data were compiled from 20 publications and included 39 datasets …

Forensic DNA analysis of casework samples using massively parallel sequencing (MPS)
technology requires a system of nomenclature for uniquely labeling sequence-based alleles …
