Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Distant Kinship Inference and Forensic Genetic Genealogy.

Abstract excerpt

Forensic genetics is moving from locus-based DNA profiling toward genome-wide inference enabled by high-density single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data. While short tandem repeats remain central to routine human identification, SNP-based technologies and massively parallel sequencing have expanded the analysis of distant kinship through detection of identity-by-descent (IBD) segments and shared autosomal DNA....
