Interpreting forensic DNA profiling evidence without specifying the number of contributors.

Forensic science international. Genetics - 1 Nov 2014

Taylor Duncan, Bright Jo-Anne, Buckleton John

Abstract excerpt

DNA profile interpretation has benefitted from recent improvements that use semi-continuous or fully continuous methods to interpret information within an electropherogram. These methods are likelihood ratio based and currently require that a number of contributors be assigned prior to analysis. Often there is ambiguity in the choice of number of contributors, and an analyst is left with the task of determining...
