March 2024 in “Forensic Sciences Research” This review examines forensic DNA phenotyping, focusing on SNP panels, genotyping techniques, and prediction models. It identifies 48 panels for biogeographical ancestry, 43 for externally visible characteristics, and 15 for both traits. The review highlights challenges such as inconsistent terminology, insufficient genetic knowledge, environmental influences, and debates over genotyping technologies and prediction models. It aims to provide an updated guide and overview of current literature in the field.
