This review paper covers the forensic-relevant literature in biological sciences from 2016 to
2019 as a part of the 19th Interpol International Forensic Science Managers Symposium …

The high variability characteristic of short tandem repeat (STR) markers is harnessed for
human identification in forensic genetic analyses. Despite the power and reliability of current …

Current approaches to mixture deconvolution of complex biological samples at times do not
have the capability to resolve component contributors in DNA evidence. Additional short …

Often in missing persons' and mass disaster cases, the samples remaining for analysis are
hard tissues such as bones, teeth, nails, and hair. These remains may have been exposed …

DNA evidence has long been considered the gold standard for human identification in
forensic investigations. Forensic genetic analyses may harness the information within …

With the advent of massively parallel sequencing (MPS) the full genetic variation of short
tandem repeat (STR) markers can be assessed. Most MPS efforts of forensic interest to date …

DNA testing in cases of disputed paternity is a routine analysis carried out in genetic
laboratories. The purpose of the test is to demonstrate similarities and differences in …

Relying on their polymorphic nature, short tandem repeats (STRs) have been extensively
studied and routinely utilized as human identity markers in forensic genetics. However, even …
