Forensic Science International: Genetics Supplement Series

Aims & Scope

Forensic Science International: Genetics Supplement Series is the prime publication venue for the proceedings of a scientific symposium or a selection of invited articles dedicated to forensic genetics.

The journal is affiliated with the International Society for Forensic Genetics and with Forensic Science International: Genetics, the premier journal in the field.

All subscribers to Forensic Science International: Genetics automatically receive this publication.

Forensic Science International: Genetics is the premier journal in the field of Forensic Genetics.

This branch of Forensic Science can be defined as the application of genetics to human and non-human material (in the sense of a science with the purpose of studying inherited characteristics for the analysis of inter- and intra-specific variations in populations) for the resolution of legal conflicts.
