If the DNA mixture contains a ratio of 4:1 of major to minor contributors, a modified random match probability (mRMP) may be able to be used as a statistical tool. For calculation of mRMP, the analyst must first deduce a major and minor contributor and their genotypes based on the peak heights given in the electropherogram.
The probability of identity (also known as the random match probability) is the probability that two individuals selected at random will have an identical genetic profile. Applied Biosystems estimates the probability of identity for SGM Plus to be approximately 1 in 13 trillion for African-Americans and 1 in 3.3 trillion Caucasian Americans. [5]
When a DNA profile is used in an evidentiary manner a match statistic is provided that explains how rare a profile is within a population. Specifically, this statistic is the probability that a person picked randomly out of a population would have that specific DNA profile.
The probabilistic genotyping method that STRmix uses deviates from the traditional method known as random match probability, which generates a statistic on the probability a match to a DNA profile ...
Probabilistic genotyping deviates from the traditional DNA analysis method of random match probability, which generates a statistic on the probability a match to a DNA profile can be found in the ...
The traditional method, known as random match probability, generates a statistic on the probability a match to a DNA profile can be found in the general population.
The judge must also ensure that the jury does not confuse the match probability (the probability that a person that is chosen at random has a matching DNA profile to the sample from the scene) with the probability that a person with matching DNA committed the crime. In 1996 R v. Doheny [84]
STRmix deviates from the traditional DNA analysis method of random match probability, which generates a statistic on the probability a match to a DNA profile can be found in the general population.
