The Spanish and Portuguese Speaking Working Group of the International Society for Forensic Genetics (GHEP-ISFG) organized a collaborative study on mutations of Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (Y-STRs). New data from 2225 father-son duos and data from 44 previously published reports, corresponding to 25,729 duos, were collected and analyzed. Marker-specific mutation rates were estimated for 33 Y-STRs.

Article Synopsis
- * A workshop held in April 2023, funded by the National Science Foundation, focused on identifying the current challenges and research gaps in bacterial wastewater surveillance, leading to discussions about methods, data standardization, and the importance of correlating wastewater data with human disease.
- * To enhance bacterial monitoring in wastewater, experts suggested the need for better data reporting standards, method optimization, and a deeper understanding of bacterial shedding patterns to link wastewater findings to infection rates in communities.

This article details the development of a single multiplex system amplifying 26 rapidly mutating Y-STR markers. A sequenced allelic ladder, constructed for calling alleles of all loci, is introduced. The multiplex system shows the ability to address the limitations of Y-STRs commercial kits in differentiating closely related males.

Forensic medicine in the United Kingdom includes both forensic pathology and clinical forensic medicine on the living. It began at the end of the 18th century, long after its development in Germany, Italy, France, and other countries in Europe. Initial beginnings were in Scotland, where a program began at the University of Edinburgh with the establishment of a chair in Forensic Medicine by Prof.
