Abstract excerpt
DNA typing offers a unique opportunity to identify individuals for medical and forensic purposes. Probabilistic inference regarding the chance occurrence of a match between the DNA type of an evidentiary sample and that of an accused suspect, however, requires reliable estimation of genotype and allele frequencies in the population. Although population-based data on DNA typing at several hypervariable loci are...
