Nuclear mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) segments (NUMTs) were discovered shortly after
sequencing the first human mitochondrial genome. They have earlier been considered to …

Mitochondrial (mt) DNA sequence analysis is useful for assessing ancestral origin and
migration, identifying human remains, and examining evidentiary material in forensic …

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data present a readily available resource for
mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) haplotypes that can be utilized for genetics research …

Mitochondrial (mt) DNA plays an important role in the fields of forensic and clinical genetics,
molecular anthropology, and population genetics, with mixture interpretation being of …

Short tandem repeats of the nuclear genome have been the preferred markers for analyzing
forensic DNA mixtures. However, when nuclear DNA in a sample is degraded or limited …

Forensic genetic investigations typically rely on analysis of DNA for attribution purposes.
There are times, however, when the amount and/or the quality of the DNA is limited, and …

Probabilistic genoty** permits a comparison of forensic evidence given hypotheses
regarding the origin of observed short tandem repeat alleles in a mixed DNA profile. Using …

In this paper we present a new algorithm for splitting (partial) human mitogenomes into
components with high similarity to haplogroup motifs of Phylotree. The algorithm reads a …

Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers have great potential to identify individuals,
family relations, biogeographical ancestry, and phenotypic traits. In many forensic situations …

Numerous features of the human mitochondrial genome (mtGenome) have been studied in
great detail, such as structure, function, copy number, mutation rate, and inheritance …
