Abstract excerpt
Shotgun sequencing has emerged as a powerful tool in forensic genetics, as it allows for comprehensive genetic profiles to be generated from highly degraded DNA. The method enables simultaneous access to a wide range of markers, thereby supporting applications such as human identification (HID), DNA intelligence, and forensic investigative genetic genealogy (FIGG). However, the accuracy and utility of shotgun...
