Abstract
Prediction of geographical ancestry using genetic markers has a great potential in forensic genetics and may be used as an investigative lead in crime casework or missing person identification. Exploration of AIMs in Pakistan is interesting due to the distinct subpopulations with multidirectional ancestry from different groups. In the current study, 87 individuals from the Punjabi population from Pakistan were investigated using the Precision ID Ancestry Panel (Thermo Fisher Scientific) to assess whether it was possible to diff ;erentiate Punjabi individuals from other populations. With this panel, it is revealed that Punjabis are admixed and cannot be distinguished from other populations in South Central Asia and the Middle East.
