Ethnic-affiliation estimation by use of population-specific DNA markers.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Apr 1997

Shriver M D, Smith M W, Jin L, Marcini A, Akey J M, Deka R, Ferrell R E

Abstract excerpt

During the past 10 years, DNA analysis has revolutionized the determination of identity in a forensic context. Statements about the biological identity of two human DNA samples now can be made with complete confidence. Although DNA markers are very powerful for distinguishing among individuals, most offer little power to distinguish ethnicity or to support any statement about the physical characteristics of an...
