Explainable artificial intelligence in forensic DNA analysis: Alleles identification in challenging electropherograms using supervised machine learning methods.

Abstract excerpt

Challenging samples in capillary electrophoresis (CE)-based short tandem repeat (STR) analysis often produce artefactual signals that cannot be completely filtered out by expert electropherogram (EPG) reading systems, complicating allele interpretation. Previous studies have demonstrated the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to address this issue by accurately distinguishing allele signals from artefacts...
