Scientific methods used in court should be reliable, as established through validation studies. This study measured the identification information inferred from a set of sixteen DNA mixture items from adjudicated cases. The validation compared Cybergenetics TrueAllele® probabilistic genotype computer interpretation with simpler human review approximations. The results demonstrated the reproducibility of TrueAllele match statistics. The computer methods were a million times more informative than human methods in reporting DNA match statistics on the same data.
