This article discusses the use of forensic DNA phenotyping to infer physical characteristics from biological samples without a reference sample, aiding investigations but raising ethical and legal concerns.

According to this study, forensic DNA phenotyping using Next Generation Sequencing can reliably predict certain visible traits like eye, hair, and skin color, though its routine implementation in forensics is hindered by incomplete genetic knowledge and ethical concerns in some countries.

This paper discusses forensic DNA phenotyping, emphasizing its ability to infer visible traits from biological samples without reference samples, but notes ethical and legal concerns related to its use.

This review highlights how the development of forensic DNA phenotyping systems like IrisPlex, HIrisPlex, and HIrisPlex-S has advanced criminal investigation by accurately predicting physical traits such as eye, hair, and skin color from DNA, thereby improving the precision and relevance of forensic applications.

This study highlights the potential of forensic DNA phenotyping using Next Generation Sequencing to predict eye, hair, and skin color, aiding criminal investigations, though adoption faces challenges due to incomplete genetic understanding and ethical, social, and legal concerns.
