In this workshop participants will learn about the possibilities that the Y-chromosome has to offer within forensic genetics. The subjects will go well beyond what currently is routinely used in forensic practice as the latest innovations on the field will be discussed. The workshop will revolve around a hypothetical forensic case, in which different options and potential outcomes will be followed step-by-step. In the process various technologies and software tools will be discussed and demonstrated. All tools will be made available to participants together with data related to the “case” to enable participants to reproduce the results at their own convenience.
