Beyond the STR Paradigm: A Comparative Analysis of Traditional Short Tandem Repeat Profiling, Investigative Genetic Genealogy, and Forensic Proteomics in the Era of Forensic Genomics
Forensic genomics’ future is hybrid: integrating STRs, IGG, and proteomics for stronger ID, kinship leads, and orthogonal confirmation. A framework is proposed plus priorities in unified probabilistic tools, diverse validation, ethical governance, and AI‑driven multi‑omic fusion.
