The effect of wild card designations and rare alleles in forensic DNA database searches.

Forensic science international. Genetics - 1 May 2015

Tvedebrink Torben, Bright Jo-Anne, Buckleton John S, Curran James M, Morling Niels

Abstract excerpt

Forensic DNA databases are powerful tools used for the identification of persons of interest in criminal investigations. Typically, they consist of two parts: (1) a database containing DNA profiles of known individuals and (2) a database of DNA profiles associated with crime scenes. The risk of adventitious or chance matches between crimes and innocent people increases as the number of profiles within a database...
