A machine learning approach for estimating Eastern Asian origins from massive screening of Y chromosomal short tandem repeats polymorphisms.

International journal of legal medicine
Inferring the ancestral origin of DNA evidence recovered from crime scenes is crucial in forensic investigations, especially in the absence of a direct suspect match. Ancestry informative markers (AIMs) have been widely researched and commercially de...

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...

Developing a Machine Learning 'Smart' Polymerase Chain Reaction Thermocycler Part 2: Putting the Theoretical Framework into Practice.

Genes
The introduction of PCR into forensic science and the rapid increases in the sensitivity, specificity and discrimination power of DNA profiling that followed have been fundamental in shaping the field of forensic biology. Despite these developments, ...

Ancestry analysis using a self-developed 56 AIM-InDel loci and machine learning methods.

Forensic science international
Insertion/deletion (InDel) polymorphisms can be used as one of the ancestry-informative markers in ancestry analysis. In this study, a self-developed panel consisting of 56 ancestry-informative InDels was used to investigate the genetic structures an...

Application of machine learning algorithm and modified high resolution DNA melting curve analysis for molecular subtyping of Salmonella isolates from various epidemiological backgrounds in northern Thailand.

World journal of microbiology & biotechnology
Food poisoning from consumption of food contaminated with non-typhoidal Salmonella spp. is a global problem. A modified high resolution DNA melting curve analysis (m-HRMa) was introduced to provide effective discrimination among closely related HRM c...

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...

Forensic STR allele extraction using a machine learning paradigm.

Forensic science international. Genetics
We present a machine learning approach to short tandem repeat (STR) sequence detection and extraction from massively parallel sequencing data called Fragsifier. Using this approach, STRs are detected on each read by first locating the longest repeat ...

Artificially intelligent scoring and classification engine for forensic identification.

Forensic science international. Genetics
Despite advances in genotyping technologies, traditional kinship analysis tools utilized in forensic identification have seen limited evolution and lack measures of accuracy. Here, we leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and extend the Elston-Stewar...

Automated estimation of the number of contributors in autosomal short tandem repeat profiles using a machine learning approach.

Forensic science international. Genetics
The number of contributors (NOC) to (complex) autosomal STR profiles cannot be determined with absolute certainty due to complicating factors such as allele sharing and allelic drop-out. The precision of NOC estimations can be improved by increasing ...

Application of machine learning techniques for creating urban microbial fingerprints.

Biology direct
BACKGROUND: Research has found that human associated microbial communities play a role in homeostasis and the disruption of these communities may be important in an array of medical conditions. However outside of the human body many of these communit...
