In recent years, microhaplotypes (MHs) have become a research hotspot within the field of
forensic genetics. Traditional MHs contain only SNPs that are closely linked within short …

Paternity testing involving close relatives is facing challenges in the field of forensic
genetics. Microhaplotype has been proposed as a promising genetic marker for their low …

Background: Paternity investigations play an important role in determining biological
relatedness, and in South Africa, the outcome of these investigations impacts medical …

Due to the advantages of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in forensic science,
many forensic SNP panels have been developed. However, the existing SNP panels have a …

Background When the motherʼs DNA profile is not available for paternity testing, there is a
smaller probability that a locus will exclude an alleged father. This study aims to evaluate the …

To explore the efficacy of commonly used forensic identification panels in complex paternity
testing of trios that involved close relatives, we wrote a code by R to generate 10,000 …

In this article, originally delivered as an address to the Australian Academy of Forensic
Sciences on its 50th anniversary, the author–a past President–reflects on the past, present …

There are frequent requests for duo paternity tests thus increasing the possibility of false
paternity inclusions. The aim of this study was to identify possible false inclusions when …
