SNPs and SNVs in forensic science.


ABSTRACT: The utility of short tandem repeat genetic (STR) markers for forensic science is beyond question and there are over 50 million STR profiles in current national databases. The magnitude and value of those data, however, are likely to be dwarfed by what is emerging from large-scale SNP and DNA sequence assays. Phenotypic characterization may well accompany future statements about identity. In this very brief review we focus on the use of rare variants to describe relatedness and population structure.
