Abstract
According to survey of International Paternity Testing Workshop (IPTW) 2009, none of the laboratories referred the use of plant and/or animal software for parentage and kinship calculation though laws of genetics are universal. The aim of this project is to test whether non-commercial software primarily written for plant and/or animal geneticists is suitable for kinship analysis of human autosomal microsatellite data in complex cases. Software familias 1.81 applied to DNA profiles of Romanov royal family executed by communists in 1918 was used as golden standard for software applicability assessment. Out of many freeware programs available from Internet, only Cervus 3, FaMoz, and Kingroup v2 were chosen for evaluation. Similarities and differences from familias 1.81 and results derived from using distinct non-human genetics versus forensic genetics approaches are presented.
