TLDR
The nature of the product rule, which implies the assumption of within and between locus independence, is discussed, to suggest that independence testing somehow "validates" its use.About:

Bayes and the Law
TL;DR: It is argued that Bayesian Networks (BNs), which automatically produce the necessary Bayesian calculations, provide an opportunity to address most concerns about using Bayes in the law.

TL;DR: The paper provides a review of current issues relating to the use of DNA profiling in forensic science, including interpretation issues involving STR DNA profiles, including:
Avoiding probabilistic reasoning fallacies in legal practice using Bayesian networks
Norman Fenton,Martin Neil +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown how Bayesian networks can be used, in conjunction with visual presentations, to address the more complex arguments in such a way that it is not necessary to expose the underlying complex Bayesian computations.

Forensic DNA profiling of tropical timber species in Peninsular Malaysia
TL;DR: In this paper, the feasibility of using short tandem repeat (STRs) as a tool to identify the source of illegally logged timber was assessed by using Neobalanocarpus heimii (Dipterocarpaceae) as an example.

Performing the exact test of Hardy-Weinberg proportion for multiple alleles.
TL;DR: In this paper, the significance level for a test of Hardy-Weinberg proportions (HWP) is estimated for loci with more than a few alleles, and two algorithms are proposed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of uncertainty in forensic science, focusing on the evaluation of evidence and its application in the field of forensic science. But they do not discuss the use of DNA profiling.
