Expanding data and resources for forensic use of SNPs in individual identification.

The potential value of SNPs for individual identification has been recognized by many researchers and different panels have been proposed. Here we present a new interface in the ALFRED database to access compendia of allele frequencies for several published panels of markers for forensic uses. One of those is our panel of individual identification SNPs (IISNPs) based on samples of 44 populations originating from many parts of the world. Here we also present additional data and additional statistical analyses that continue to support the value of our panel of IISNPs as a universal panel. We also describe initial developments of multiplex methods and various robustness analyses for our 45 marker IISNP panel.
