Forensic DNA Phenotyping: A Review on SNP Panels, Genotyping Techniques, and Prediction Models

    March 2024 in “ Forensic Sciences Research ”
    Nuria Terrado-Ortuño, Patrick May
    Studysummary This review found that current forensic DNA phenotyping panels for biogeographical ancestry and visible traits face significant limitations due to inconsistencies in terminology, genetic understanding, and genotyping technologies, highlighting the need for harmonization and further research.
