: SNPs can be analyzed from much smaller or more degraded fragments of DNA than STRs, making them ideal for identifying remains or aged biological evidence.
Introduction - DNA Technology in Forensic Science - NCBI Bookshelf
Based on available research literature, the title likely refers to advanced techniques in forensic genetics and paternity testing that move beyond standard autosomal DNA profiling. Overview of Alternative Paternity Identification
In some contexts, identification may rely on "comparative methods" if biological material is insufficient:
: Using unique ridge patterns to establish identity, though this requires a direct reference print from the alleged father. Key Analytical Tools Primary Marker Standard Paternity Autosomal STRs Direct child-father comparison. Y-STR Analysis Y-Chromosome Paternal male lineage (sons/brothers). SNP Microarrays Distant relatives and degraded samples. FGG Large SNP panels Cold cases with no direct suspects.
