This review paper covers the forensic-relevant literature in biological sciences from 2019 to
2022 as a part of the 20th INTERPOL International Forensic Science Managers Symposium …

Degraded DNA is used to answer questions in the fields of ancient DNA (aDNA) and
forensic genetics. While aDNA studies typically center around human evolution and past …

Abstract Next-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as massively sequencing, enables
large dense SNP panel analyses which generate the genetic component of forensic …

The chemical (eg, preservation/embalming) treatment of skeletal remains can reduce overall
DNA quality and quantity. The histological and stable isotope examination of treated and …

Bones are one of the most common biological types of evidence in forensic cases.
Discriminating human bones from irrelevant species is important for the identification of …

Kaspar Hauser's parentage has been the subject of research and debate for nearly 200
years. As for his possible aristocratic descent through the House of Baden, there is suspicion …

Ancient DNA is highly degraded, resulting in very short sequences. Reads generated with
modern high-throughput sequencing machines are generally longer than ancient DNA …

Parchment, the skins of animals prepared for use as writing surfaces, offers a valuable
source of genetic information. Many have clearly defined provenance, allowing for the …

In forensics, genetic human identification is generally achieved by nuclear STR DNA typing.
However, forensic samples often yield DNA in exiguous quantity and low quality, impairing …

Investigative genetic genealogy (IGG) has emerged as a highly effective tool for tying a
forensic DNA sample to an identity. While much of the attention paid to IGG has focused on …
