Twenty-seven continental ancestry-informative SNP analysis of bone remains to resolve a forensic case.

ABSTRACT: We employed our previously developed 27-plex ancestry-informative single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panel to infer the ancestral components of bone remains of a possible foreign pilot found in south-western China. For ancestry assignment of this unknown individual, we first obtained the 27-SNP genotype of the individual. Then, based on a reference database of 3081 individuals from 33 populations, we calculated the match probability and likelihood ratio using the self-developed software program Forensic Intelligence. Inferred ancestral components of this individual were calculated by structure at K = 3. A complete profile was obtained for the individual using our multiplexed SNP assay. The European population was within one order of magnitude of the highest likelihood. The major a
