Testing the Validity of Kinship Microsimulation: An Update
Computer microsimulation is capable of generating detailed reconstructions and forecasts of the numbers of living kin that members of a population have. The available detail, specificity, and consistency of vital rates for the past and the accuracy of vital rates projected for the future necessarily limit the accuracy of the kinship estimates that can be produced. This study updates the validit...
متن کاملKinship Testing Based on SNPs Using Microarray System.
BACKGROUND Kinship testing using biallelic SNP markers has been demonstrated to be a promising approach as a supplement to standard STR typing, and several systems, such as pyrosequencing and microarray, have been introduced and utilized in real forensic cases. The Affymetrix microarray containing 169 autosomal SNPs developed for forensic application was applied to our practical case for kinshi...
متن کاملKinship testing with X-chromosomal markers: mathematical and statistical issues.
Use of X-chromosomal markers for kinship testing is meaningful if the identical-by-descent allele sharing probabilities of at least two individuals involved in the case differ under the different hypotheses made about the composite relationships. In this situation, optimal decision making about one or the other hypothesis should be based upon the likelihood ratio of the genotype data obtained. ...

To facilitate comparison, an ‘etic grid’ is necessary; namely, an open-ended universe of kin-types, such as ‘fa...
