Inferring identify from DNA profile evidence.
The controversy over the interpretation of DNA profile evidence in forensic identification can be attributed in part to confusion over the mode(s) of statistical inference appropriate to this setting. Although there has been substantial discussion in the literature of, for example, the role of population genetics issues, few authors have made explicit the inferential framework which underpins t...
متن کاملInferring ethnicity from mitochondrial DNA sequence
BACKGROUND The assignment of DNA samples to coarse population groups can be a useful but difficult task. One such example is the inference of coarse ethnic groupings for forensic applications. Ethnicity plays an important role in forensic investigation and can be inferred with the help of genetic markers. Being maternally inherited, of high copy number, and robust persistence in degraded sample...

متن کاملInferring coalescence times from DNA sequence data.
The paper is concerned with methods for the estimation of the coalescence time (time since the most recent common ancestor) of a sample of intraspecies DNA sequences. The methods take advantage of prior knowledge of population demography, in addition to the molecular data. While some theoretical results are presented, a central focus is on computational methods. These methods are easy to implem...
متن کاملInferring DNA Structures from Segmentation Data
The analysis of DNA structure from restriction enzyme segmentation data has been viewed by molecular geneticists as one of their simpler analysis problems. This paper treats segmentation problems as a case study in the selection between data-driven and model-driven hypothesisformation. The main purpose of this paper is to set forth some useful considerations for selecting a problem solving appr...
