Discrimination of relationships with the same degree of kinship using chromosomal sharing patterns estimated from high-density SNPs.

Abstract excerpt

Distinguishing relationships with the same degree of kinship (e.g., uncle-nephew and grandfather-grandson) is generally difficult in forensic genetics by using the commonly employed short tandem repeat loci. In this study, we developed a new method for discerning such relationships between two individuals by examining the number of chromosomal shared segments estimated from high-density single nucleotide...
