This is a disaster not only for the UK scientists but also for their EU-based collaborators. The total amount of funding lost is likely to be more than £100m. These ERC grants are highly prestigious typically opening up a research career with follow-up EU funding.

Development of the ancestry informative SNP panel forming part of the ⁦@VISAGE_H2020⁩ Basic Tool (BT), which combines 41 appearance predictive SNPs and 112 ancestry predictive SNPs (three SNPs shared between sets) in one MPS multiplex https://t.co/SXkucYc8KA

[Peter Schneider @pschneid55]

Our results of the @VISAGE_H2020 European survey among practitioners regarding the implementation of massively parallel sequencing for #forensic #genetics have been published #openaccess https://t.co/4xdOv4JJpz

[Peter Schneider @pschneid55]

Excellent OA review by @pennyhaddrill in "Emerging Topics In Life Sciences" on recent developments in #forensic #genetics, including MPS, SNPs, #phenotyping, #epigenetics, body fluids, mixtures, & genetic #genealogy, with lots of up-to-date references. https://t.co/bxdxNUcWUD

[Peter Schneider @pschneid55]

Please participate in this survey on outcomes of #forensic DNA phenotyping!

[Peter Schneider @pschneid55]

A Polish language version of „Making sense of forensic genetics“ is in preparation by the Polish speaking ISFG working group. @senseaboutsci

[Peter Schneider @pschneid55]

Please note the Special Issue on "Forensic multidisciplinary involvement after terrorist attacks" (Guest Editor: Bertrand Ludes) in the open access journal @ForSciRes -- two articles discussing #DVI issues are included.

[Peter Schneider @pschneid55]

The new book by @peterdgill and colleagues on the interpretation of complex #forensic #DNA profiles: excellent overview and practical guidance on STR markers, mixtures, population genetics and probabilistic interpretation of evidence! https://t.co/XsNgwlilQ3

[Peter Schneider @pschneid55]

Article (in English & German) in @Dt_Aerzteblatt Int. on "The Use of Forensic DNA Phenotyping in Predicting Appearance and Biogeographic Ancestry" advocating for a combined use of both methods in criminal casework. https://t.co/MWiyk6PREE

[Peter Schneider @pschneid55]

Magnus Dehli Vigeland and Thore Egeland teach the course "Statistical methods in relatedness and pedigree analysis" Jan 6-10, 2020, in Oslo. What does it mean to be related? Are some siblings more alike than others? How is genetic relatedness measured? https://t.co/Pu6GxzFeCp

[Peter Schneider @pschneid55]

DNAxs enables the data management and probabilistic interpretation of #forensic #DNA profiles. The software will be disseminated through two workshops, one held on Feb. 27-28 in The Hague, and one on Apr. 21-22, 2020, in Ljubljana. Please register here: https://t.co/rwNkMGmHV2

[CHI_ResearchUnit @UNTHFW_CHI_RDU]

Check out the new tool that dropped today (#Fragsifier) that uses machine learning to detect STRs in #MPS data from #englandryannz and the folks at #ESRNewZealand. Read more below:

Our distinguished colleagues Lourdes Prieto, Antonio Alonso and Angel Carracedo have helped preparing the Spanish edition “Interpretando la Genetica Forense” together with @senseaboutsci

[Sense about Science EU @SenseScienceEU]

How can we use forensic genetics in criminal investigations? We worked with the ISFG & @EUROFORGEN to create a Spanish language guide to forensic genetics. Read it here: https://t.co/FcfDJ2tUUL
