Relationship Inference with Familias and R: Statistical Methods in Forensic Genetics discusses the use of Familias and R software to understand genetic kinship of two or more DNA samples. This software is commonly used for forensic cases to establish paternity, identify victims, or analyze genetic evidence at crime scenes. . The book explores the use of familias and R for difficult situations, including inbred families, mutations, and missing data from degraded DNA. In addition, users will find specific sections that address plotting, genomosal marker analysis, chip data, NGS data, and relative estimation using genome-wide SNPs. . Although written for use with human DNA, the principles can be applied to non-human genetics for animal pedigrees and/or analysis of plants for agricultural purposes. The book contains all the necessary tools to evaluate any type of forensic case where kinship is an issue.
