Small Shifts, Big Impacts: Using Probabilistic Genotyping Software in Forensic Genetics
RevSALUSThe 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.

Recombulator-X: A fast and user-friendly tool for estimating X chromosome recombination rates in forensic genetics [PDF]
, 2023 Genetic markers (especially short tandem repeats or STRs) located on the X chromosome are a valuable resource to solve complex kinship cases in forensic genetics in addition or alternatively to autosomal STRs.

Forensic Genetics: A Machine Learning Algorithm for Mutation Modelling
RevSALUSMicrosatellites 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.

Population genetic analyses of the Powerplex Fusion kit in a cosmopolitan sample of Chubut province (Patagonia Argentina) [PDF]
, 2015 Allele frequencies and forensic parameters for 22 autosomal STR loci and DYS391 locus included in the PowerPlex® Fusion System kit were estimated in a sample of 770 unrelated individuals from Chubut province, southern Patagonia. No significant deviations

Evaluation of the usefulness of insertion‑null markers in critical skeletal remains [PDF]
Forensic DNA analysis in compromised skeletal remains may pose challenges due to DNA degradation, often resulting in partial or negative autosomal STRs profiles. To address this issue, alternative approaches such as mitochondrial DNA or SNPs typing may

Experience based efficient approach for DNA-led identification of highly carbonized human remains [PDF]
In case of severely burned bodies, victim identification by visual or fingerprints recognition is often prevented by altered body conditions. To overcome these circumstances, different techniques are available. Among these, the most reliable is molecular

Harmonizing the forensic nomenclature for STR loci D6S474 and DYS612 [PDF]
The autosomal STR D6S474 and the Y-chromosomal STR DYS612 have been reported in multiple ways in the forensic literature, with differences in both the bracketed repeat structures and counting of numerical length-based capillary electrophoresis (CE ...
