“…Additional forensic DNA methods have developed as important investigative tools enabling the inference of biogeographical ancestry (BGA) (J. R. Kidd et al, ; Phillips et al, ) and externally visible characteristics (EVCs) (Allwood & Harbison, ; Chaitanya et al, ; Ruiz et al, ; S. Walsh et al, , ). These markers are generally single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), but can be microhaplotypes (Bulbul et al, ; K. K. Kidd & Pakstis et al, ), nucleotide insertions or deletions (Moriot, Santos, Freire‐Aradas, Phillips, & Hall, ; Santos et al, ), mitochondrial haplotypes, or STRs (Messina et al, ; Moriot et al, ; Phillips et al, ).…”
