Whole-genome sequencing of a mid-20 <sup>th</sup> -century femur from central Israel in an open missing-person case

2026-04-28

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide technologies can generate investigative leads in cold cases by determining the genetic ancestry of the forensic sample. Increasingly, DNA extraction and whole-genome sequencing or genotyping are being used to analyze early or middle-20 th century skeletal remains. Here, we present the first case, to our knowledge, of whole-genome sequencing of a middle-20 th -century bone sample from the Middle East....
