Abstract
The advent of massively parallel sequencing and the development of ancestry informative marker panels have advanced forensic DNA analyses beyond being a mere tool for matching individuals to crime casework profiles. Now, there is the potential to make ethnicity, age, and even phenotype predictions for intelligence to assist law enforcement in cases with no suspects. This technology is, however, relatively time consuming and not readily available in most crime laboratories unlike the standard STR typing platform. The present study evaluates the concomitant use of autosomal and Y-STR allele frequencies for ethnicity inference to facilitate quick investigation and apprehension before the perpetrator can re-offend or escape the jurisdiction.
