Abstract excerpt

DNA evidence recovered from a scene or collected in relation to a case is generally declared as a mixture when more than two alleles are observed at several loci. However, in principle, all DNA profiles may be considered to be potentially mixtures, even those that show not more than two alleles at any locus. When using a likelihood ratio approach to the interpretation of mixed DNA profiles it is necessary to...
