Suppоse аt а crime scene, degrаded DNA is fоund and alleles fоr two of CODIS STR loci have been amplified. A suspect has been identified with a matching DNA profile, as listed in the table below. STR profile for crime scene DNA sample and the suspect STR loci: Crime scene & Suspect STR variants TPOX 8, 11 DYS391 11, 11 STR variants and their population frequencies STR loci: 8 9 10 11 12 TPOX 0.55 0.12 0.04 0.26 0.3 DYS391 0 0.02 0.45 0.53 0 What is the overall probability of the crime scene and suspect DNA profile, given the population allele frequencies for the two STR loci?
