Determining the number of contributors to DNA mixtures in the low-template regime: Exploring the impacts of sampling and detection effects.

Legal medicine (Tokyo, Japan) - 1 May 2018

Norsworthy Sarah, Lun Desmond S, Grgicak Catherine M

Abstract excerpt

The interpretation of DNA evidence may rely upon the assumption that the forensic short tandem repeat (STR) profile is composed of multiple genotypes, or partial genotypes, originating from n contributors. In cases where the number of contributors (NOC) is in dispute, it may be justifiable to compute likelihood ratios that utilize different NOC parameters in the numerator and denominator, or present different...
