The ForAPP: Forensic Ancestry Prediction Pipeline for the interpretation of ancestry informative markers
Interpretation of ancestry informative markers (AIMs) in a forensic case can be time-consuming as different tools are used that need to be initiated separately. We develop the ForAPP; an open-source pipeline (running offline) that initiates multiple ancestry prediction analyses and summarizes results in an interactive interface for interpretation of autosomal ancestry-informative markers.

Differentiation of vaginal cells from epidermal cells using morphological and autofluorescence properties; implications for sexual assault casework involving digital penetration
This work explores morphological and autofluorescence differences between vaginal and epidermal cells detectable through Imaging Flow Cytometry (IFC), a non-destructive, high-throughput technique. These differences were used to build a predictive framework for classifying unknown cells as originating from vaginal or epidermal tissue, which was tested on hand swabbings with and without digital penetration. Many more cells possessing a vaginal signature (median posterior probability ≥.90) were detected in digital penetration samples than control hand swabbings.

Population Data for 94 Identity SNPs in Four U.S. Population Groups
The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) sequenced 1036 human DNA samples from four United States population groups (African American, Asian, Hispanic, and Caucasian) using the ForenSeq DNA Signature Prep Kit with Primer Mix B (DPMB) on a MiSeq FGx instrument. In addition to STR markers, DPMB includes amplification primers for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) used for individual identification (iiSNPs, n = 94), ancestry inference (aiSNPs, n = 56), and phenotype prediction (piSNPs, n = 22).

DNA on drugs
The use of illicit drugs is a continuing blight on society. Detecting DNA from individuals involved in the manufacturing and distribution of drugs can provide valuable investigative information or strategic intelligence which, in turn, can be used to disrupt the supply and distribution of illicit drugs. Our study details the transfer, persistence, prevalence, and recovery of human DNA on the exterior of tablets and capsules, as well as within drug powders. Various experiments were conducted to mimic stages in the creation and packaging of tablets and capsules. (Source: Forensic Science International: Genetics Supplement Series)

Characterisation of the impact of inhibition on STR profiles: Causes, mechanisms and consequences
This study investigates inhibition in more detail by comparing patterns of inhibition with known characteristics of an STR kit. By looking at the balance of the loci within STR profiles under different inhibitory conditions and assessing the impact of altering PCR conditions such as annealing temperature on locus performance, hypotheses of inhibitory mechanisms can be formed.
