5.5 Interpretation of DNA Profile in Paternity Disputes, Missing PersonIdentification and Forensic Identification

1. The paternity disputes: the child's-and-parents' profiles (the Mendelian expectation: the child's one-allele-per-locus from each parent); the mismatch's exclusion (the obligatory allele's absence); the match's statistics (the paternity index — the likelihood's ratio; the probability's expression); the Nepal faces — the succession (angsha) disputes' growing DNA practice (the civil courts' orders for the testing; the compelled-testing debates — the court's power vs the person's refusal).2. The missing persons: the unidentified remains (the profile from the remains) vs the family's references (the kinship's reconstruction — the parents-and-children's comparison); the conflict's faces (the disappeared — the Nepal conflict's identification questions); the disaster's identification (the DVI — the Interpol's standards).3. The forensic identification: the crime-scene profile vs the suspect's (the match's statistics; the database's hit); the mixture's interpretation (the multiple contributors' deconvolution — the interpretation's hardest); the touch-and-low-template debates (the sensitivity's edge — the reliability's caution).
