Estimating the number of contributors to two-, three-, and four-person mixtures containing DNA in high template and low template amounts
AIM To develop guidelines to estimate the number of contributors to two-, three-, and four-person mixtures containing either high template DNA (HT-DNA) or low template DNA (LT-DNA) amounts. METHODS Seven hundred and twenty-eight purposeful two-, three-, and four-person mixtures composed of 85 individuals of various ethnicities with template amounts ranging from 10 to 500 pg were examined. The...
متن کاملThe DNA database search controversy.
A recent article in Biometrics (Stockmarr, 1999, 55, 671-677) has generated correspondence (56, 1274-1277; 57, 976-980) reigniting a controversy started by a 1996 report on DNA profile evidence issued by the U.S. National Research Council (NRC). The issue concerns the evidential weight of a DNA profile match when the match results from a search through a profile database. The views of both Stoc...
متن کاملForensic DNA Profiles: Database Expansion, Familial Search, and a Radical Solution
This paper outlines the substantial privacy risks posed by the human genome, and explains how sensitive information is omitted from FBI DNA profiles. It then details the quiet expansion of law enforcement DNA databases, including the controversial technique of “familial DNA search,” and argues for a population-wide, universal DNA database. Genomes, Profiles and Privacy Risks The human genome is...
متن کاملIdentifying Mixtures of Mixtures Using Bayesian Estimation
The use of a finite mixture of normal distributions in model-based clustering allows us to capture non-Gaussian data clusters. However, identifying the clusters from the normal components is challenging and in general either achieved by imposing constraints on the model or by using post-processing procedures. Within the Bayesian framework, we propose a different approach based on sparse finite ...
متن کاملMultiProtIdent: identifying proteins using database search and protein-protein interactions.
Protein identification is important in proteomics. Proteomic analyses based on mass spectra (MS) constitute innovative ways to identify the components of protein complexes. Instruments can obtain the mass spectrum to an accuracy of 0.01 Da or better, but identification errors are inevitable. This study shows a novel tool, MultiProtIdent, which can identify proteins using additional information ...
