In this study, we explore the landscape of short tandem repeats (STRs) within the human
genome through the lens of evolving technologies to detect genomic variations. STRs, which …

The prediction of chronological age from methylation-based biomarkers represents one of
the most promising applications in the field of forensic sciences. Age-prediction models …

In recent decades, the use of genetic polymorphisms related to specific phenotypes, such as
eye color, has greatly contributed to the development of the research field called forensic …

The term artificial intelligence (AI) was coined in the 1950s and it has successfully made its
way into different fields of medicine. Forensic sciences and AI are increasingly intersecting …

Achieving accurate STR genotyping by using next-generation sequencing data has been
challenging. To provide the forensic genetics community with a reliable open-access STR …

Short Tandem Repeat (STR) testing via capillary electrophoresis is undoubtedly the most
popular forensic genetic testing method. However, its low multiplexing capabilities and …

Identical twins are also called monozygotic twins which originate from the same zygote that
possesses the same genetic make-up. To discriminate between identical monozygotic twins …

DNA-based technologies have been used in forensic practice since the mid-1980s. While
PCR-based STR genotyping using Capillary Electrophoresis remains the gold standard for …

Advancements in sequencing and laboratory technologies have enabled forensic genetic
analysis on increasingly low quality and degraded DNA samples. However, existing …

Blood is one of the most commonly found biological fluids at crime scenes, with the detection
and identification of blood holding a high degree of evidential value. It can provide not only …
