Abstract

The article in: International Journal on Biomedicine and Healthcare, 3(2), p. 27. Abstract: DNA analysis is considered to be an absolutely reliable process, but this conviction is not based on realistic foundations.

Even for commonly used methods, detailed derivation rarely exists; very often unambiguously accepted definitions of terms used is absent, which can lead to erroneous interpretations and biased or even completely meaningless results. Current approaches, unfortunately, can lead to very different match statistics on the same DNA data and development in this field therefore aims to standardize the methods used.
