Abstract

Indonesia is a diverse nation composed of numerous ethnic groups, each with distinct physical and genetic characteristics. Genetic similarities within ethnic populations can be examined through DNA profiling, particularly by analyzing Short Tandem Repeat loci. In Indonesia, DNA profiling has been widely applied in forensic identification and paternity testing. This study focuses on classifying the Javanese population into sub-tribes based on STR profile similarities using divisive hierarchical clustering. The optimal number of clusters was determined by the smallest Sum of Squared Errors (SSE), with the lowest value of 72583.12and the highest Silhouatte coeffisien value is 0.78, yielding seven sub-tribe clusters. Subsequently, these sub-tribe clusters were further classified into family clusters using Y-chromosome STR (YSTR) data, which traces paternal lineage. The clustering process employed the Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean, resulting in 21 family clusters. Compared to k-means clustering, divisive clustering produced sub-tribe clusters with more balanced population sizes. The establishment of sub-tribe and family clusters enhances the efficiency of individual identification, as DNA profile matching can be performed at the cluster level rather than across the entire population. This approach provides a more systematic framework for forensic applications and victim identification, particularly in cases involving male individuals where YSTR data is critical.

Abstract

The objective of forensic identification is to assist investigators in identifying an individual's identity, Through the identification process in forensic odontology, we can obtain information related to a person's identity such as race, gender, age and oral habits. This case report discusses the identification of skeletal found by residents in a garbage dump. This discovery was reported to the police in charge for further investigation. These skeletals were identified by a joint team, consist of forensic pathologist and forensic odontologist. In this case, we conclude the skeletals was human skeletals, mongoloid male with estimation of age between 30-50 years old.

Abstract

This study measures the similarity of the short tandem repeat (STR) profile of human DNA. The similarity measurement had been done to the STR value of the allele loci in DNA profile between the query’s DNA to the reference’s DNA profile. The measurements were conducted on 27 DNA profile loci including the Y chromosome loci (YSTR). The YSTR loci were used as the main comparison of similarity measurements to determine the biological kinship relationship between the query DNA profile and the alleged male biological family. To measure the similarity of two STR values that have shifted due to several factors in the DNA source extraction process, a fuzzy similarity measure was used. The STR values of the DNA profile loci are described as triangular fuzzy numbers. Similarity value of the STR is the intersection of two isosecle that been compared. To conclude that the query has a biological relationship with the male reference, the similarity of the YSTR locus is equal or more than 0.75 and the similarity value of the other 24 DNA profile loci is greater or equal to 0.5. From the trial that have been done, 90% give the right results.
