Forensic DNA Profiling

Forensic DNA Profiling applies bioinformatics and genomic technologies to human identification and forensic investigations.

  • DNA fingerprinting and individual identification using genetic markers

  • Analysis of short tandem repeats (STRs) and SNP-based profiling

  • Kinship and paternity testing

  • Forensic analysis from degraded or low-quality DNA samples

  • Development of population-specific allele frequency databases

  • Statistical models for match probability and evidence evaluation

  • Integration of sequencing technologies into forensic workflows

  • Human ancestry inference and biogeographical analysis

  • Ethical, legal, and privacy considerations in forensic genomics
