Abstract excerpt
Forensic genetic genealogy (FGG) has primarily relied upon dense single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) profiles from forensic samples or unidentified human remains queried against online genealogy database(s) of known profiles generated with SNP microarrays or from whole genome sequencing (WGS). In these queries, SNPs are compared to database samples by locating contiguous stretches of shared SNP alleles that...
