Use of the Elston-Stewart algorithm for the efficient calculation of exact pedigree-based Y-STR match probabilities
The formal assessment of a genetic match between a suspect and some biological trace material is one of the key tasks of forensic genetics, particularly in cases of sexual offence. The analysis of Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) has proven especially useful in this context. For a long time, however, calculating the probability of a perfect Y-STR profile match under the defense…
