Explainable artificial intelligence in forensic DNA analysis: Alleles identification in challenging electropherograms using supervised machine learning methods.

Forensic science international. Genetics
Challenging samples in capillary electrophoresis (CE)-based short tandem repeat (STR) analysis often produce artefactual signals that cannot be completely filtered out by expert electropherogram (EPG) reading systems, complicating allele interpretati...

Ethical and security challenges in AI for forensic genetics: From bias to adversarial attacks.

Forensic science international. Genetics
Forensic scientists play a crucial role in assigning probabilities to evidence based on competing hypotheses, which is fundamental in legal contexts where propositions are presented usually by prosecution and defense. The likelihood ratio (LR) is a w...

XGBoost as a reliable machine learning tool for predicting ancestry using autosomal STR profiles - Proof of method.

Forensic science international. Genetics
The aim of this study was to test the validity of a predictive model of ancestry affiliation based on Short Tandem Repeat (STR) profiles. Frequencies of 29 genetic markers from the Promega website for four distinct population groups (African American...

A multi-class support vector machine classification model based on 14 microRNAs for forensic body fluid identification.

Forensic science international. Genetics
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are promising biomarkers for forensic body fluid identification owing to their small size, stability against degradation, and differential expression patterns. However, the expression of most body fluid-miRNAs is relative (differen...

An initial exploration of machine learning for establishing associations between genetic markers and THC levels in Cannabis sativa samples.

Forensic science international. Genetics
Cannabis sativa, a globally commercialized plant used for medicinal, food, fiber production, and recreation, necessitates effective identification to distinguish legal and illegal varieties in forensic contexts. This research utilizes multivariate st...

Development of a two-layer machine learning model for the forensic application of legal and illegal poppy classification based on sequence data.

Forensic science international. Genetics
Poppies are beneficial plants with a variety of applications, including medicinal, edible, ornamental, and industrial purposes. Some Papaver species are forensically significant plants because they contain opium, a narcotic substance. Internationally...

Explainable artificial intelligence in forensics: Realistic explanations for number of contributor predictions of DNA profiles.

Forensic science international. Genetics
Machine learning obtains good accuracy in determining the number of contributors (NOC) in short tandem repeat (STR) mixture DNA profiles. However, the models used so far are not understandable to users as they only output a prediction without any rea...

Using a multi-head, convolutional neural network with data augmentation to improve electropherogram classification performance.

Forensic science international. Genetics
DNA profiles are generated in forensic biology laboratories around the world. It is possible that these profiles are assessed by two independent people in order for the profiles to be 'read'. Recent work has been carried out to develop a neural netwo...

Evaluation of supervised machine-learning methods for predicting appearance traits from DNA.

Forensic science international. Genetics
The prediction of human externally visible characteristics (EVCs) based solely on DNA information has become an established approach in forensic and anthropological genetics in recent years. While for a large set of EVCs, predictive models have alrea...

Predicting haplogroups using a versatile machine learning program (PredYMaLe) on a new mutationally balanced 32 Y-STR multiplex (CombYplex): Unlocking the full potential of the human STR mutation rate spectrum to estimate forensic parameters.

Forensic science international. Genetics
We developed a new mutationally well-balanced 32 Y-STR multiplex (CombYplex) together with a machine learning (ML) program PredYMaLe to assess the impact of STR mutability on haplogourp prediction, while respecting forensic community criteria (high D...
