Report from the STRAND Working Group on the 2019 STR sequence nomenclature meeting
Gettings,K.B.; Ballard,D.; Bodner,M.; Borsuk,L.A.; King,J.L.; Parson,W.; Phillips,C.;
This report summarizes topics discussed at the STR sequence nomenclature meeting hosted by the STRAND Working Group in April 2019. Invited attendees for this meeting included researchers known-to-us to be developing STR sequence-based nomenclature schemata, scientific representatives from vendors developing STR sequence bioinformatic methods, DNA intelligence database curators, and academic experts in STR genomics. The goal of this meeting was to provide a forum for individuals developing nomenclature schemata to present and discuss their ideas, encouraging mutual awareness, identification of differences in approaches, opposing aspects, and opportunities for parallelization while some approaches are still under development.

Resolving a 150-year-old paternity case in Mormon history using DTC autosomal DNA testing of distant relatives
Perego,U.A.; Bodner,M.; Raveane,A.; Woodward,S.R.; Montinaro,F.; Parson,W.; Achilli,A.;
Although autosomal DNA testing has been available for a number of years, its use to reconstruct genetic profiles of people that lived centuries in the past is relatively recent and there are no published cases where it was employed to verify a kinship relation, likely to be an alleged paternity, that occurred one and a half century ago. DNA testing has already been employed to study the ancestry and posterity of Joseph Smith Jr.

Resolving mitochondrial haplogroups B2 and B4 with next-generation mitogenome sequencing to distinguish Native American from Asian haplotypes
Wood,M.R.; Sturk-Andreaggi,K.; Ring,J.D.; Huber,N.; Bodner,M.; Crawford,M.H.; Parson,W.; Marshall,C.;
Mitochondrial haplogroup information can be useful in forensic contexts that rely primarily on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) testing, which often involve limited or degraded DNA. Due to the phylogeographic patterning of mtDNA in human populations, mitochondrial haplogroups are indicative of maternal ancestry (as mtDNA is a maternally inherited marker). In certain circumstances, maternal ancestry inferred from mitochondrial haplogrouping could be beneficial to forensic investigations.
