Abstract The introduction of Short Tandem Repeat (STR) DNA was a revolution within a
revolution that transformed forensic DNA profiling into a tool that could be used, for the first …

We have released a software named EuroForMix to analyze STR DNA profiles in a user-
friendly graphical user interface. The software implements a model to explain the allelic …

Designed as an accessible introduction to basic scientific principles and their application in
professional practice, Forensic Biology provides a concise overview of the field. Focusing …

DNA is now routinely used in criminal investigations and court cases, although DNA
samples taken at crime scenes are of varying quality and therefore present challenging …

Most DNA evidence is a mixture of two or more people. Cybergenetics TrueAllele® system
uses Bayesian computing to separate genotypes from mixture data and compare genotypes …

Computer methods have been developed for mathematically interpreting mixed and low‐
template DNA. The genotype modeling approach computationally separates out the …

Mixtures are a commonly encountered form of biological evidence that contain DNA from
two or more contributors. Laboratory analysis of mixtures produces data signals that usually …

Genetic variations in specific base pair positions in the genome (Figure 1) are called single
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) if at least two variants (alleles) have frequencies of more …

There are three dominant contributing factors that distort short tandem repeat profile
measurements, two of which, stutter and variations in the allelic peak heights, have been …

When dealing with mixed DNA profiles where contributors have donated DNA in unequal
amounts, it is often useful to deduce the genotype of the major contributor. Inference of a …
