Popis: In both criminal cases and civil cases there is an increasing demand for the analysis of DNA mixtures involving relationships. The goal might be, for example, to identify the contributors to a DNA mixture where the donors may be related, or to infer the relationship between individuals based on a DNA mixture. This paper applies a recent approach to modelling and computation for DNA mixtures involving contributors with arbitrarily complex relationships to two real cases from the Spanish Forensic Police.
