Considering relatives when assessing the evidential strength of mixed DNA profiles.

Forensic science international. Genetics - 1 Nov 2014

Taylor Duncan, Bright Jo-Anne, Buckleton John

Abstract excerpt

Sophisticated methods of DNA profile interpretation have enabled scientists to calculate weights for genotype sets proposed to explain some observed data. Using standard formulae these weights can be incorporated into an LR calculation that considers two competing propositions. We demonstrate here how consideration of relatedness to the person of interest can be incorporated into a LR calculation and how the same...
