Lineage Marker를 이용한 개인식별에서의 통계적 방법

Abstract

Mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA) and the non-recombining region of the Y chromosomeare passed down, unaltered, from generation to generation, matrilineally and patrilineally,respectively. Therefore, the Y-chromosome DNA and mtDNA are known as lineagemarkers, and they play important roles in studies based on human migration andevolutionary history. Y-chromosome DNA is used in forensic analysis to identify individualsinvolved in cases of sexual assault. In this paper, we review the methods ofstatistical evaluation of lineage markers used in forensic identification. We also reviewthe combined approach of autosomal and lineage marker evidence.
