Characterization of target nuclear DNA from faeces reduces technical issues associated with the assumptions of low-quality and quantity template (2007, background): “However, increased PCR cycling coupled with low DNA template has been shown to increase the probability of amplification errors such as allelic dropout and false alleles (Gill et al. 2000; Whitaker et al. 2001).”
Development of RNA profiling tools and the implementation in forensic casework (2014, background): “Technological advances in the field of forensic genetics have been aimed at, amongst others, increasing the chance of obtaining useful DNA profiles from minute amounts of cellular material residing in for instance touch specimens [1-4].”
Revising how the computer program cervus accommodates genotyping error increases success in paternity assignment (2007, background): “Likelihood equations have been developed for increasingly realistic models of genotyping error (e.g. Gill et al .”
