The probability distribution of the number of loci indicating exclusion in a core set of STR markers.

Abstract excerpt

The distribution of the number of loci out of the 13 in the CODIS STR set that would show an exclusion (i.e., a genotype set incompatible either with the prosecution hypothesis or with Mendelian transmission) was estimated in different scenarios. The knowledge of this distribution would provide a framework against which casework evidence can be compared. I used allele frequencies in Iberian and in Italian...
