Statistical Genetics and the Mechanisms of Probabilistic Genotyping

Probabilistic genotyping is a tool that uses computing power to aid in the identification of possible genotype sets within DNA typing results and to calculate likelihood ratios to estimate evidentiary weight. In this installment of Probabilistic Genotyping of Evidentiary DNA Typing Results, we will detail the background and principles of biostatistical analysis, to include match probabilities, likelihood ratios and other specific topics aimed at furthering understanding of the statistical basis of probabilistic genotyping.

This webinar was presented by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on May 18, 2019, as part of the Probabilistic Genotyping Of Evidentiary DNA Typing Results Webinar Series.
