Weighting for DNA Profiling

Identification of individual STR-based individuals is required for the investigation of Disaster Victim Identification and other applications. The DNA identification of an individual with the DNA of both biological parents, father, and mother, would result in a perfect match value, but what if the biological parents of the individual had died. In this research, we proposed a method of identifying DNA against an individual if one or both of the individual parents were absent, so it was necessary to match the individual DNA profiles with DNA profiles of existing family members. The conclusions from the results of individual DNA matching with DNA of family members were proposed using fuzzy inference system with weighted suggestion according to familial closeness.
