GHEP-ISFG Proficiency Test 2011: Paper challenge on evaluation of mitochondrial DNA results [PDF]
The GHEP-ISFG Working Group performed a collaborative exercise to monitor the current practice of mitochondrial (mt)DNA reporting. The participating laboratories were invited to evaluate a hypothetical case example and assess the statistical significance of a match between the haplotypes of a case (hair) sample and a suspect.

Second GHEP-ISFG exercise for DVI: “DNA-led” victims’ identification in a simulated air crash
The Spanish and Portuguese-Speaking Working Group of the International Society for Forensic Genetics (GHEP-ISFG) has organized a second collaborative exercise on a simulated case of Disaster Victim Identification (DVI), with the participation of eighteen laboratories.

Paternal and maternal mutations in X-STRs: A GHEP-ISFG collaborative study
The GHEP-ISFG organized a collaborative study to estimate mutation rates for the markers included in the Investigator Argus X-12 QS kit Qiagen. A total of 16 laboratories gathered data from 1,612 father/mother/daughter trios, which were used to estimate both maternal and paternal mutation rates, when pooled together with other already published data ...

Microsatellites’ mutation modeling through the analysis of the Y-chromosomal transmission: Results of a GHEP-ISFG collaborative study [PDF]
The Spanish and Portuguese Speaking Working Group of the International Society for Forensic Genetics (GHEP-ISFG) organized a collaborative study on mutations of Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs). New data from 2225 father-son duos and data from 44 previously published reports, corresponding to 25,729 duos, were collected and analyzed.

Results of the GHEP-ISFG collaborative exercise for the taxonomic identification of forensic samples using the SPInDel method [PDF]
Abstract The Species Identification by Insertions/Deletions (SPInDel) multiplex PCR allows the identification of species by the generation of numeric profiles combining the lengths of six mitochondrial ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene regions. Here, we describe a collaborative exercise for the taxonomic identification of forensic samples using the SPInDel ...

Small Shifts, Big Impacts: Using Probabilistic Genotyping Software in Forensic Genetics
The genetic analysis of crime scene samples is increasingly challenging due to the low DNA quantity and/or quality and associated stochastic effects, that make them highly complex and difficult to analyze.

Forensic Genetics: A Machine Learning Algorithm for Mutation Modelling
Microsatellites or short tandem repeats (STRs) are the most used markers in population and forensic genetics due to their high polymorphism that is consequence of high germinal mutation rates.
