Abstract excerpt
A large number of ancestry-informative marker panels have been developed for forensic bio-geographical ancestry (BGA) analysis during the past decade, which offer valuable investigative tools for cold cases. The developed assays for capillary electrophoresis (CE) and massively parallel sequencing (MPS) focus on the differentiation of major populations, with MPS allowing larger numbers of markers that can be...
