The evaluation and interpretation of forensic DNA mixture evidence faces greater interpretational challenges due to increasingly complex evidence. Such include: casework involving low quantity or degraded leading allele locus dropout; sharing contributors stacking; differentiation PCR stutter artifacts from true alleles. There is variation in statistical approaches used evaluate the strength when inclusion a specific known individual(s) determined, must be supportable. are concerns that...
Allele distributions for twenty-three autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) loci - D1S1656, D2S441, D2S1338, D3S1358, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, D10S1248, D12S391, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D19S433, D21S11, D22S1045, CSF1PO, FGA, Penta D, E, SE33, TH01, TPOX and vWA were determined in Caucasians, Southwestern Hispanics, Southeastern African Americans, Bahamians, Jamaicans, Trinidadians, Chamorros, Filipinos, Apaches, Navajos. The data are included the FBI PopStats software calculating...
The interpretation of mixed DNA stains is explained in the context likelihood ratios. probabilities for mixed-stain profile are evaluated under alternative explanations that specify numbers contributors and profiles any known contributors. Interpretations based simply on frequencies with which random members a population would not be excluded from do make use all information, may overstate strength evidence against included people. effects depends whether alleles at locus present stain. A...
Genetically matching tusks from the same elephant in consecutive shipments links trafficker to multiple ivory seizures.
DNA profiles from multiple-contributor samples are interpreted by comparing the probabilities of under alternative propositions. The propositions may specify some known contributors to sample and also a number unknown contributors. probability alleles carried set people, or unknown, depends on allelic frequencies upon any relationships among people. Membership same subpopulation implies relationship shared evolutionary history, this effect has been incorporated into probabilities. This...
