Human-Genetic Ancestry Inference and False Positives in Forensic Familial Searching

2020-03-08

Abstract excerpt

In forensic familial search methods, a query DNA profile is tested against a database to determine if the query profile represents a close relative of a database entrant. One challenge for familial search is that the calculations may require specification of allele frequencies for the unknown population from which the query profile has originated. Allele-frequency misspecification can substantially inflate false-p...
