The third part focuses on paternity analysis, explaining the interpretation of DNA profiling results for paternity testing and the calculation of various paternity assessment parameters, including paternity testing, exclusion rate, paternity identification, kinship substitution for suspected fathers, paternity testing in subpopulation structures, complexpaternity testing, paternity testing between any two individuals, and the calculation methods for paternity index during mutation and paternity evaluation. The book also includes several famous case studies at the end. The entire book references a large number of domestic and international literature, making it rich in content and serving as a guide for theoretical and practical research in paternity testing. This book can be used as a reference for paternity testing professionals, teachers in universities and colleges, graduate and undergraduate students, forensic pathologists in public security and judicial departments, genetic researchers, testing personnel, and legal professionals.
