Area of Science:

  • Forensic Genetics
  • Genomics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • DNA mixture interpretation is a significant challenge in forensic science.
  • Current methods using Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) have limitations with complex mixtures.
  • Novel markers like Single Nucleotide Variants (SNVs) and microhaplotypes lack discrimination power and CODIS compatibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel CODIS-compatible forensic marker for enhanced DNA mixture interpretation.
  • To leverage Long-Read Sequencing (LRS) technologies for improved forensic analysis.
  • To design a panel of highly discriminative macrohaplotypes.

Main Methods:

  • Development of macrohaplotypes by combining CODIS STRs with flanking variants.
  • Utilizing Long-Read Sequencing (LRS) to obtain large DNA fragments with definitive phasing.
  • Designing a panel of 20 macrohaplotypes (approx. 8 kbp) with high discrimination power using publicly available data.

Main Results:

  • The developed macrohaplotypes demonstrate significantly higher discrimination power compared to CODIS STRs.
  • Macrolhaplotypes show substantial improvement in interpreting complex DNA mixtures, particularly those with multiple contributors.
  • Statistical evaluation confirms the superior performance of macrohaplotypes for forensic applications.

Conclusions:

  • Macrolhaplotypes represent a significant advancement in forensic DNA analysis, particularly for challenging mixture samples.
  • The study highlights the potential of LRS technologies in developing next-generation forensic markers.
  • Further development of a complete wet-lab and bioinformatics workflow is recommended for macrohaplotype implementation.
