DNA Profiling in forensic genetics and anthropogenetics: Techniques, databases, and ethical considerations

  • Abderrazak El Khair

摘要

Anthropogenetics focuses on genetic variation among human populations and has contributed to forensic genetics by introducing innovative methods for individual identification, ancestry estimation, and phenotype prediction. Anthropogenetics provides crucial insights into individual and ancestral origins, particularly in cases involving degraded or trace DNA samples. The review explores the intersection of anthropogenetics and forensic genetics, highlighting key applications in human identification and ancestry analysis. It addresses challenges such as the analysis of degraded DNA, ethical concerns related to privacy and genetic profiling, and biases in genetic databases. The review emphasizes the potential of advanced sequencing technologies, global genetic databases, machine-learning algorithms, and AI-driven analysis to enhance the accuracy and reach of both fields.
