This webinar is Module 2 in the Probabilistic Genotyping of Evidentiary DNA Typing Results - An Online Workshop Series.
Detailed Learning Objectives:
- Articulate the theory and application of statistical techniques used in probabilistic genotyping, considering both unrelated and related individuals, and perform calculations relevant for matching DNA profiles
- Understand the reasoning behind the Balding-Nichols match probabilities, including its limitations
- Be able to assess appropriate values for Fst given the circumstances of a particular case
- Appreciate the different analyses appropriate for autosomal and unilineal DNA profiles
- Develop propositions for a variety of case scenarios to address the probability of the evidence if the DNA originated or did no originate from one or more persons of interest
- Develop conditional propositions for use when the DNA of a known individual can be reasonably assumed to be present on the evidence
Instructors:
- Dr. David Balding - University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia
- Dr. Michael Coble - University of North Texas Health Science Center, Fort Worth, Texas
- Dr. John Buckleton - Institute of Environmental Science and Research, Auckland, New Zealand
- Steven Myers - California Department of Justice, Richmond, California
