Investigative genetic genealogy: Current methods, knowledge and practice.

Forensic science international. Genetics - 1 May 2021

Kling Daniel, Phillips Christopher, Kennett Debbie, Tillmar Andreas

Abstract excerpt

Investigative genetic genealogy (IGG) has emerged as a new, rapidly growing field of forensic science. We describe the process whereby dense SNP data, commonly comprising more than half a million markers, are employed to infer distant relationships. By distant we refer to degrees of relatedness exceeding that of first cousins. We review how methods of relationship matching and SNP analysis on an enlarged scale...
