Analysis of a DNA mixture involving Romani reference populations.

Here we present an Italian criminal case that shows how statistical methods can be used to extract information from a series of mixed DNA profiles. The case involves several different individuals and a set of different DNA traces. The case possibly involves persons of interest of a small population of Romani origin.

Highly Predictive Genetic Markers Distinguish Drug-Type from Fiber-Type L.

Genetic markers can be used in seeds and in plants to distinguish drug-type from fiber-type L. varieties even at early stages, including pre-germination when cannabinoids are not accumulated yet. With this aim, this paper reports sequencing results for () and () genes from 21 L.
