Abstract
Molecular genetic testing using DNA plays a crucial role in the field of justice. Beyond the analysis of genomic DNA sequences, advanced methods such as mitochondrial DNA analysis, epigenetic marker identification, and RNA profiling are being developed. A particularly promising approach is forensic phenotyping, which involves predicting human characteristics from DNA samples, including appearance, biogeographic origin, and age.
