- Additional information
- The paper described a model for evaluating forensic DNA profiles in detail. The statistical model described in the paper was implemented in the computer system DNA LiRa-D. https://cdnmedia.eurofins.com/european-west/media/1418957/lgc_lira_fact_sheet_en_0815_90.pdf
The system has been used since 2015 by Eurofins, primarily for cold cases. About 800 calculations have been reported to court using the system (Senior Software Engineer, Eurofins Forensic Services)
