On forensic likelihood ratios from low-coverage sequencing

2024-05-30

Abstract excerpt

Advances in sequencing technology are allowing forensic scientists to access genetic information from increasingly challenging samples. A recently published computational approach, IBDGem , analyzes sequencing reads, including from low-coverage samples, in order to arrive at likelihood ratios for human identification. Here, we show that likelihood ratios produced by IBDGem are best interpreted as testing a null...
