Combined DNA Index System: a GUI tool for forensic paternity lawsuit

| Watch this File

File Information
Description

This GUI is a tool to compute the Paternity Index in a lawsuit for paternity attribution or exclusion. It is possible to use the Applied Biosystems, Promega or Biotype forensic kits. The GUI can be use in presence or in absence of the mother's data. If the alleged father is not available (in case of death) it is possible to setup the procedure using a father's relative. The GUI also has a module for incest lawsuit. Data can be saved and reloaded. Moreover there are several demo and info of the used STRs.
Before to compute PI, the GUI checks if "mater certa est" and if Mother and Child samples were swapped.
Now it computes also reverse parentage: this is the case to adopt in case of kidnapping or suspect baby exchange into the nursery
MATLAB release MATLAB 7.10 (R2010a)

simply do this:
1) in Matlab enter into the directory where you installed CODIS (use the window into the left side)
2) type "CODISpwd=pwd; save CODISpwd.mat CODISpwd; clear CODISpwd"
3) that'all. Anyway I will modify the software.

Hello,

I find your app very interesting. I downloaded it but when running it I get some errors. It seems that some files are missing.
"load CODISpwd.mat CODISpwd
cd(CODISpwd)"

Can you provide these files?
Thank you!

In the last update, the GUI checks for possible swap of mother-child samples. The alleged father-child swap is not needed because it will show many maternal mismatches.
