Claim Text:
1. A method for determination of the presence or absence of an individual's DNA in a sample comprising a DNA mixture having the DNA of two or more contributors, the method comprising: a) starting with determining, for each SNP to which a DNA molecule in the array corresponds (SNP in the array), whether the minor allele of the SNP is present in the DNA mixture sample, by detecting the hybridization between the DNA molecules in the array and the DNA of the DNA mixture sample; b) for each SNP in the array, determining whether the minor allele of the SNP is present in the individual's DNA sample, by detecting the hybridization between the DNA molecules in the array and the DNA of said individual's DNA sample; and c) concluding that the individual's DNA is present in the DNA mixture sample based solely on whether the number of minor alleles that are present in the individual's DNA sample that are also present in the DNA mixture sample is above a predetermined threshold.
