Talk 3: Y-profile mixtures and profiled relatives
Channel: Y-talks 2020 by M. M. Andersen and D. Balding
Date: 04/08/2020

Here David Balding looks in a little detail at two more advanced features of our new approach to Y-profile evaluation: how is evidential strength affected by observing the Y-profiles of relatives of the alleged contributor?  And what if the evidence  is from a mixture of DNA from two or more males?  We discuss how our new approach not only can answer these questions but it reveals important insights that have not previously been appreciated.  Further details are published in: Andersen M, Balding D (2019)
