This Review focuses on recent developments in forensic DNA typing. It highlights important
recent advances and issues in forensic human identification and identifies representative …

A likelihood ratio (LR) system is defined as the entire pipeline of the measurement and
interpretation processes where probabilistic genotyping software (PGS) is a piece of the …

This book addresses the role of statistics and probability in the evaluation of forensic
evidence, including both theoretical issues and applications in legal contexts. It discusses …

In criminal investigations, forensic scientists need to evaluate DNA mixtures. The estimation
of the number of contributors and evaluation of the contribution of a person of interest (POI) …

Forensic DNA provides a striking contribution to the provision of justice worldwide. It has
proven to be crucial in the investigative phase of an unsolved crime where a suspect needs …

The increased interest in the use of Massively Parallel Sequencing (MPS) technologies to
type traditional autosomal STR markers raises multiple questions regarding interpretation of …

Presently, there exist many different models and algorithms for determining, in the form of a
likelihood ratio, whether there is evidence that a person of interest contributed to a mixed …

We compare two open-source programs for the evaluation of evidential weight arising from
complex DNA profiles recovered in a crime investigation. Here,“complex” means one or …

DNA testing and its forensic analysis are recognized as the “gold standard” in forensic
identification science methods. However, there is a great need for a hands-on step-by-step …

Probabilistic genotyping software based on continuous models is effective for interpreting
DNA profiles derived from DNA mixtures and small DNA samples. In this study, we updated …
