TL;DR: Three fully computational, quantitative shape analysis methods and a combinatory approach that make use of three‐dimensional laser scans of the pubic symphysis are described that produce objective age‐estimates that are comparable to current practices with root‐mean‐square‐errors between 13.7 and 16.5 years.

TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of the probabilistic clustering methods commonly used in human population genetics for the analysis of continuous, cranial measurement data, to improve population inference for admixed individuals without prior knowledge of sample origins was tested.

TL;DR: The method suggests the possibility of performing familial searches of microsatellite databases using query SNP profiles, or vice versa, and reveals that privacy concerns arising from computations across multiple databases that share no genetic markers in common entail risks.

TL;DR: These results support the use of the TA method by researchers of varying experience levels and validate its use on forensic cases, given the low error overall.

TL;DR: In this article, structural vulnerabilities linked to ethnicity impact the success of identifying deceased migrants, showing that Mexican migrants with more European ancestry are more often successfully identified in recent years, attributing this bias in identification to the layers of structural vulnerability that uniquely affect indigenous Mexican migrants.
