Abstract excerpt
Forensic investigative genetic genealogy (FIGG) has demonstrated considerable promise in identifying perpetrators and unidentified human remains. While whole-genome sequencing (WGS) offers a robust foundation for FIGG, DNA mixtures-prevalent in forensic casework-remain a challenge as standard algorithms require single-source profiles. Potential solutions fall broadly into two categories: (1) deconvoluting...
