Giardia duodenalis is considered a species complex that is divided into 8 genetically distinct but morphologically identical assemblages (A-H). Assemblages C-H are generally host adapted, while A and B infect both people and animals and are considere...
For several decades, a common approach for processing sexual assault evidence has been to use the "standard" differential extraction to separate the evidence into a non-sperm-cell fraction and a sperm-cell fraction for further analysis. In this stand...
DNA mixture interpretation remains one of the major challenges in forensic DNA analysis. DNA mixture samples are inherently complex due to several factors including the variations in the quantity of DNA, the presence of non-allelic artifactual peaks ...
Influenza A viruses are one of the most significant viral groups globally with substantial impacts on human, domestic animal and wildlife health. Wild birds are the natural reservoirs for these viruses, and active surveillance within wild bird popula...

Allplex Bacterial vaginosis assay (Seegene, South Korea) is a molecular test for bacterial vaginosis (BV). A machine learning algorithm was devised on 200 samples (BV = 23, non-BV = 177) converting 7 identified bacterial strains polymerase chain reac...
Worldwide, testing capacity for SARS-CoV-2 is limited and bottlenecks in the scale up of polymerase chain reaction (PCR-based testing exist. Our aim was to develop and evaluate a machine learning algorithm to diagnose COVID-19 in the inpatient settin...
Age estimation is one of the most important components in the practice of forensic science, especially for body fluids or stains at crime scenes. Recent studies have focused on the application of DNA methylation for chronological age determination in...
