Abstract:Since the birth of forensic genetics decades ago, the selected forensic markers typically are assumed to be independent of each other, so that the statistical measures of the individual markers (e.g., match probabilities, likelihood ratios, and probability of inclusion) can be directly multiplied together to achieve high discriminating power. In fact, some common markers may not be strictly independent. For example, the short tandem repeat (STR) loci vWA and D12S391 are only ~6.36 million bases (Mb) apart and … Show more
“…Collaborative studies have explored variability with laboratory performance using MPS methods [ 398 , 399 ]. Population structure [ 400 ] and linkage and linkage disequilibrium [ 401 ] were examined among the markers in forensic MPS panels.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
