Abstract:
With the rapid development of genomics and biotechnology,forensic biogeographical ancestry inference-a technique for determining an individual's population origin through the detection of ancestry informative genetic markers-has emerged as a critical research domain in forensic genetics.As a pivotal method for individual identity identification,forensic ancestry inference provides crucial investigative leads and scientific evidence for case resolution and judicial proceedings.This review comprehensively examines the genetic markers,analytical methodologies,current challenges,and developmental trajectories of forensic ancestry inference.
