“…DNA tests used for identification are surrounded by many questionings about the results by statistical probabilities. DNA analysis does not identify a unique individual but provides the statistical probability of including or excluding this individual within a restricted universe 22 ; that is, it shows the frequency in the population in which the genetic profile of a given individual can be included or excluded as a possible relative of the genetic profile provided for the comparative study. Thus, it is not possible to affirm that the analyzed material belongs to a single individual.…”

“…Conforme o short comunication escrito por Bearmann, Vuille e Taroni [6], o interesse forense no DNA vai muito além do padrão, levantando muitas vezes questões sobre a maneira como as novas formas de dados deveriam ser tratadas, direcionando para uma perspectiva operacional. Existem inúmeros obstáculos na prática forense atual, dentre eles a pressão exercida pelo judiciário por respostas mais eficientes.…”

“…The proposal of a discussion about the use of software to help assign likelihood ratios for forensic DNA profiling results, and the use of their output in the legal process, is both timely and important (see also related contributions elsewhere in Frontiers , e.g., Biedermann et al, 2014 ). Ever since their introduction in forensic science, DNA profiling analyses have been accompanied with the results of calculations of various sorts.…”
