The following scientific projects are endorsed by the ISFG
All Y-chromosomal STR and mtDNA haplotype data submitted to FSI: Genetics and the Int. J. Legal Med. have to be accepted by these databases for validation. Autosomal STR data have to be submitted to STRidER prior to publication in FSI: Genetics.
