Automated estimation of the number of contributors in autosomal STR profiles

Abstract: Estimating the number of contributors to mixed STR profiles can be complex. This study describes the nC-tool to assist DNA expert in this process. The nC-tool is based on the total allele count for PowerPlex® Fusion 6C profiles and showed improved performance when compared to the maximum allele count approach.

“…Alternative methods using the total number of alleles (total allele count, TAC), the distribution of allele counts over the loci, the population's genotype frequencies, peak heights (PH), replicates, probability of allelic drop-out and stutter, or a Bayesian network approach have shown to yield improved NOC estimates [68,[79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89].…”

“…Furthermore, DNAxs includes NOC tools based on a machine learning approach. These are designated as the RFC19 model that is specific to PowerPlex Fusion 6C (PPF6C) data as generated within NFI [89] and the generic RFC11 model which is laboratory independent [37]. The RFC19 model outperformed the MAC method and an in-house developed tool that utilised the TAC [89,91].…”

“…Finding the right cut point is the goal of the experiment. Compared with traditional experimental methods, it can provide a more stable and accurate acceleration model [8]. However, since the axial cutting depth is not taken into account, this method does not apply to changing the axial cutting depth.…”
