A genomic ancestry panel for Australian and Japanese WWII military remains recovered in the Asia-Pacific

Ghaiyed, Andrew Peter (2021) A genomic ancestry panel for Australian and Japanese WWII military remains recovered in the Asia-Pacific. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

The Ghaiyed population-specific panel (GPSP) is an ancestry prediction strategy comprised of ancestry-informative DNA markers that was developed to assist Unrecovered War Casualties-Army (UWC-A) in the accounting of historical military remains. The GPSP was able to significantly increase the proportion of individuals that could be assigned ancestry compared to conventional methods used by the Forensic Science community and previous UWC-A methodology. The GPSP is supported by the novel application of admixture simulation tools and a modified Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detector/Probability Decision Tree (CHAID/PDT) method for ancestry classification, to more reliably account for the remains of those fallen in previous conflicts.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
