Evaluation of Mixture Deconvolution Tools
Phase II, the evaluation of the mixture deconvolution tools, is presently underway. DNA profiles from two contributor mixtures and other simulated mock casework scenarios have been analyzed for evaluation with these mixture deconvolution tools.  Further, the Project Team will be evaluating the features and limitations of each of the software systems currently available.
