Abstract excerpt

The prediction of externally visible traits (eye, hair, and skin colours) from DNA can provide valuable information for contemporary and ancient human populations. The validated HIrisPlex-S method is the primary tool in forensics for phenotyping modern samples. The HIrisPlex-S multiplex PCR assay can handle trace DNA from modern samples, but the analysis of degraded, low-coverage ancient DNA (aDNA) presents...
