A New Proposed Nomenclature for Microhaplotypes
Microhaplotype marker is a new type of forensic genetic marker, and it is becoming more and more important with the development of massively parallel sequencing technology. Therefore, a unified and standardized nomenclature is required. Kenneth K. Kidd has proposed and published a nomenclature for microhaplotype markers. The nomenclature involves a root “MH” which is followed by chromosome numbers and unique characters established by the authors in their initial publication. Mh01kk001 is an example following this nomenclature system. (Source: Forensic Science International: Genetics Supplement Series)

Study of genetic variability of the Blue Shark Prionace glauca (Linnaeus, 1758)
The Blue Shark (Prionace glauca, Linnaeus, 1758) is one of the most abundant sharks in the epipelagic zone (0-200  m) and its population is distributed in oceans of tropical and temperate climate. Currently, these animals have been considered predatory fishing target and are classified as low-risk or near-endangered, according to the Red List of International Union for the Conservation Nature (IUCN). Aiming s tudy conservation aspects of the specie, the purpose of this study is verifying the occurrence of population under-structuring in Prionace glauca.

GENETIC ANALYSIS OF 12 X-CHROMOSOMAL STRs AN AUTOCHTHONOUS POPULATION OF SOUTHEAST SPAIN
The analysis of X-chromosomal short tandem repeats (STRs) is a valuable tool as well as a useful complement to the study of autosomal and Y chromosome STRs in complex kinship cases due to the particular inheritance of the X chromosome.Currently it is necessary to expand the study of a greater number of X-STRs, and know their population characteristics, for better forensic purposes.The allelic frequencies and further population forensic genetic parameters were studied in 12 X-Chromosome STRs loci included in the InvestigatorTM Argus X-12 Kit.

Exploring DNA interpretation software using the PROVEDIt dataset
This work studies the effect of variability in the overall DNA typing process on the likelihood ratio (LR) generated from probabilistic genotyping (PG) systems. The data used in this study was obtained from the PROVEDIt set which is a comprehensive database openly available at lftdi.com [1]. The selected samples were composed of single-source and complex mixtures amplified with GlobalFiler kit (29 cycles) at different DNA template amounts and separated on 3500 Genetic Analyzer at different injection times.

The effectiveness of forensic genealogy techniques in The united kingdom � an experimental assessment
The use of forensic genealogy techniques to identify Joseph James DeAngelo as the prime suspect in the Golden State Killer case in 2018 has opened up a new approach to investigation of cold cases. Since that breakthrough, these methods have been reportedly applied to more than 50 investigations. To date, all of these relate to investigations in the US, where the high uptake of �direct-to-consumer� (DTC) genetic testing by individuals conducting private ancestral research has provided the necessary publicly available data for successful forensic investigations.

Legislation of forensic DNA analysis in Hungary - past, present and future
Ever since the first application of DNA analysis in criminal casework in 1992, the conditions under which forensic DNA analysis is performed within the Hungarian law have been developed and subsequently approved, in parallel with the establishment of a national database report of forensic DNA. Act XLVII of 2009 (on the Criminal Records System, on the Records of EU Member State Court Rulings against Hungarian Citizens as well as on the Records of Biometric Criminal and Law Enforcement Data) constituted the legal framework for this.

Considering dna transfer issues in a retrospective analysis of forensic examinations
The article deals with evaluating forensic DNA identification data in a case of retrospective analysis with a strong uncertainty factor. The DNA data should be assessed by both the investigator and the court taking into account mechanisms of trace deposits. To solve activity-level issues suggested approaches are using molecular techniques for the forensic cell type identification, the Bayesian networks, the findings of large-scale studies conducted to standardize and corroborate the conclusions on various aspects of DNA transfer, persistence, prevalence and recovery.

Population genetics data of 23 autosomal str loci for three populations in united arab emirates
In the present study, forensic parameters were estimated for three populations residing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) including UAE Arabs, Pakistanis and Indians based on the population data of 23 autosomal short tandem repeats (STRs). The UAE Arabs is a vital population to study due to high rates of consanguineous marriages. Therefore, it is essential to estimate the allele distribution and frequencies within this population. In addition, it is crucial to study the largest communities living in the UAE such as Indians and Pakistanis. (Source: Forensic Science International: Genetics Supplement Series)

Handling founder inbreeding in forensic kinship analysis
We propose an extension of standard methods for computing pedigree likelihoods, in which pedigree founders are allowed to be inbred. Support for inbred founders is implemented in the forrel R package for forensic pedigree analysis. This enables for the first time background inbreeding to be modelled and studied in a variety of applications, including likelihood ratios, exclusion probabilities, relatedness inference and simulation studies. We illustrate these advances through two study cases. (Source: Forensic Science International: Genetics Supplement Series)

Bone sampling criteria for dna genotyping: macroscopic sample categorization and str typing results association
The Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team (EAAF) investigates human rights violations which took place in Argentina during the military government that ruled out from 1976-1983 and also cooperates in other countries with humanitarian crisis as well. Most of the bone remains that the EAAF analyses show long post mortem interval. Consequently, the skeletal remains may have been exposed to different conditions such as moisture, temperature and pH conditions, microorganisms and different types of soil that can produce various degrees of preservation.

Genetic polymorphism of 125 Y-SNPs in Han population from Shandong Province, China
In this study, a total of 92 Han male subjects from the city of Dezhou in Shandong province were genotyped by the 125 Y-SNP markers including 89 sub-haplogroups of O-M175 haplogroup. The haplogroup diversity reached 0.9140 and 21 terminal haplogroups were observed. O-M175 haplogroup (n  = 65, 70.65%) was the most predominant haplogroup, and the second largest haplogroup was C-M130 (n = 13, 14.13%). The samples belonging to O-M175 haplogroup were further divided into 13 sub-haplogroups. (Source: Forensic Science International: Genetics Supplement Series)

The most frequent autosomal strs involved in exclusion of paternity cases in a population from southeast, mexico
Short tandem repeats (STR) are very widespread in the human genome; being a source of polymorphic markers, used for the determination of kindship. Few studies indicate the frequency of autosomal STR involved in the exclusion of paternity, as well as, those with a higher percentage of discordance. To determine the distribution and frequency of the main autosomal STR markers involved in the exclusion of paternity cases in an admixed population from Southeast, Mexico (Peninsula de Yucat án).

Prevalence of DNA in vehicles: Linking an item away from a vehicle to occupancy of the vehicle
To assist our understanding of DNA transfer, persistence, prevalence and recovery (DNA-TPPR), this study investigates the extent to which DNA from a car is picked up by a temporary driver and transferred to items touched after leaving the car. The study investigates recovery of DNA from handprints left by a temporary driver on glass plates and from car keys used by the temporary driver. The study found that DNA can be transferred from surfaces within a car to locations beyond the car by a temporary driver. (Source: Forensic Science International: Genetics Supplement Series)
