Abstract excerpt
Microhaplotypes (MHs) have great potential in forensic DNA analysis, with applications in individual identification, kinship analysis and ancestry inference. No matter the forensic application, the analysis of DNA mixtures may be encountered. This study aims to develop and evaluate a continuous model for interpreting mixed genotype data from MH markers. We characterized MH profile features and modeled allele read...
