Estimating the number of contributors to a DNA profile.

International journal of legal medicine - 1 Oct 2003

Egeland Thore, Dalen Ingvild, Mostad Petter F

Abstract excerpt

The broad topic of this paper is the evaluation of DNA evidence in criminal cases. More specifically, we deal with mixture evidence which refers to cases where there are, or could be, several contributors to a biological stain based on, e.g., blood or semen. The present paper addresses DNA mixtur...
