Description
In the field of forensics, there is a critical need for genetic tests that can function in a predictive or inferential sense, before suspects
have been identified, and/or for crimes for which DNA evidence exists but eye-witnesses do not. Molecular Photofitting fills this
need by describing the process of generating a physical description of an individual from the analysis of his or her DNA. The molecular
photofitting process has been used to assist with the identification of remains and to guide criminal investigations toward certain individuals
within the sphere of prior suspects.
Molecular Photofitting provides an accessible roadmap for both the forensic scientist hoping
to make use of the new tests becoming available, and for the human genetic researcher working to discover the panels of markers that
comprise these tests. By implementing population structure as a practical forensics and clinical genomics tool, Molecular Photofitting
serves to redefine the way science and history look at ancestry and genetics, and shows how these tools can be used to maximize the efficacy
of our criminal justice system.
Audience
Geneticists, biologists, DNA researchers, forensic and physical anthropologists, practicing forensic scientists, crime laboratory personnel,
crime scene personnel, Forensic consultants (generalists). Forensic professionals at the FBI, NIST, and other relevant government organizations.
