Probabilistic Genotyping of Single Cell Replicates from Complex DNA Mixtures Recovers Higher Contributor LRs than Standard Analysis

The paper compares probabilistic genotyping of single-cell subsamples with standard bulk mixture analysis, finding that single-cell methods recover higher likelihood ratios for donors in complex DNA mixtures.

Messenger RNA biomarker signatures for forensic body fluid identification revealed by targeted RNA sequencing

The paper develops a targeted RNA sequencing assay to identify forensic body fluids using specific gene markers and demonstrates its sensitivity and specificity in single-source and admixed stains.

Facile semi-automated forensic body fluid identification by multiplex solution hybridization of NanoString® barcode probes to specific mRNA targets

This paper develops a method for forensic body fluid identification using mRNA profiling and NanoString probes, achieving zero false positives in testing.
