MLS BioDNA Ltd publishes the second
research article in an International peer-reviewed scientific
journal
A second research article
was accepted for publication and eventually published in the
journal Forensic Science International - Genetics. In this
article we reported a rare case of tri-allelic inheritance of
markers used in forensic DNA testing. A year ago, MLS BioDNA Ltd
published the estimated frequencies of STR alleles in the
Maltese population that are useful to calculate the probability
of paternity in the local population.
