Forensic DNA Phenotyping refers to the prediction of appearance traits of unknown sample
donors, or unknown deceased (missing) persons, directly from biological materials found at …

Background Persons whose identifying DNA profile (STR profile) is not yet known to the
ingvestigating authorities cannot be identified by standard forensic DNA analysis (STR …

Using genome-wide data of 89 ancient individuals dated to 5100 to 100 years before the

Abstract Forensic DNA Phenotyping (FDP), ie the prediction of human externally visible traits
from DNA, has become a fast growing subfield within forensic genetics due to the …

Human DNA profiling using PCR at polymorphic short tandem repeat (STR) loci followed by
capillary electrophoresis (CE) size separation and length-based allele typing has been the …

Recently, the field of predicting phenotypes of externally visible characteristics (EVCs) from
DNA genotypes with the final aim of concentrating police investigations to find persons …

Forensic DNA phenotyping needs to be supplemented with age prediction to become a
relevant source of information on human appearance. Recent progress in analysis of the …

Forensic DNA profiling currently allows the identification of persons already known to
investigating authorities. Recent advances have produced new types of genetic markers …
