The effect of varying the number of contributors on likelihood ratios for complex DNA mixtures.

Forensic science international. Genetics - 1 Nov 2015

Abstract excerpt

Interpretation of DNA mixtures with three or more contributors, defined here as high order mixtures, is difficult because of the inevitability of allele sharing. Allele sharing complicates the estimation of the number of contributors, which is an important parameter to assess the probative value. Consequently, these mixtures may not be deemed suitable for interpretation and reporting. In this study, we generated...
