DNA-based prediction of human externally visible characteristics in forensics: motivations, scientific challenges, and ethical considerations.

Forensic science international. Genetics - 1 Jun 2009

Kayser Manfred, Schneider Peter M

Abstract excerpt

There will always be criminal cases, where the evidence DNA sample will not match either a suspect's DNA profile, or any in a criminal DNA database. In the absence of DNA-based mass intelligence screenings, including familial searching (both of which may be restricted by legislation), there is only one option to potentially avoid or retrospectively solve "cold cases": the DNA-based prediction of human externally...
