Familial identification: population structure and relationship distinguishability.

PLoS genetics - 1 Feb 2012

Rohlfs Rori V, Fullerton Stephanie Malia, Weir Bruce S

Abstract excerpt

With the expansion of offender/arrestee DNA profile databases, genetic forensic identification has become commonplace in the United States criminal justice system. Implementation of familial searching has been proposed to extend forensic identification to family members of individuals with profiles in offender/arrestee DNA databases. In familial searching, a partial genetic profile match between a database...
