Assessing the forensic value of DNA evidence from Y chromosomes and mitogenomes
Mikkel M Andersen, David J Balding
Y-chromosomal and mitochondrial DNA profiles have been used as evidence in courts for decades, yet the problem of evaluating the weight of evidence has not been adequately resolved…
Encoding of low-quality DNA profiles as genotype probability matrices for improved profile comparisons, relatedness evaluation and database searches
K. Ryan, D. Gareth Williams, David J. Balding
Many DNA profiles recovered from crime scene samples are of a quality that does not allow them to be searched against, nor entered into, databases. We propose a method for the comp…
Using Genetic Distance to Infer the Accuracy of Genomic Prediction
Marco Scutari, Ian Mackay, David Balding
The prediction of phenotypic traits using high-density genomic data has many applications such as the selection of plants and animals of commercial interest; and it is expected to…
A simulation approach for change-points on phylogenetic trees
Adam Persing, Ajay Jasra, Alexandros Beskos +2
We observe sequences at each of sites, and assume that they have evolved from an ancestral sequence that forms the root of a binary tree of known topology and branch length…
Multiple Quantitative Trait Analysis Using Bayesian Networks
Marco Scutari, Phil Howell, David J. Balding +1
Models for genome-wide prediction and association studies usually target a single phenotypic trait. However, in animal and plant genetics it is common to record information on mult…
Improving the Efficiency of Genomic Selection
Marco Scutari, Ian Mackay, David J. Balding
We investigate two approaches to increase the efficiency of phenotypic prediction from genome-wide markers, which is a key step for genomic selection (GS) in plant and animal breed…
