Evaluating DNA evidence in a genetically complex population.

Forensic science international. Genetics - 1 Sept 2018

Hessab T, Aranha R S, Moura-Neto R S, Balding D J, Schrago C G

Abstract excerpt

In forensic genetics, the likelihood ratio (LR), measuring the value of DNA profile evidence, is computed from a database of allele frequencies. Here, we address the choice of database and adjustments for population structure and sample size in the context of Brazil. The Brazilian population underwent a complex process of colonization, migration and mating, which created an admixed genetic composition that makes...
