This article examines composite profiles in DNA.
Abstract
Composite profiles are created by combining DNA profiling information from replicate profiles derived from the same DNA extract. In this paper the authors have shown that, provided the probability of drop-in is low or nil, the creation of composite profiles is an acceptable approximation to a Bayesian approach, as long as simple samples are analyzed.
