Dr. Michael "Doc" Edge and Dr. Vivian Link Published a New Paper

Vivian found that, contrary to assumptions sometimes adopted in forensic science, the genetic markers used in forensics are more likely than comparable markers to be near trait-associated variants identified in genome-wide association studies and previously identified pathogenic variants.
