Details

PCRsim is a package for simulating the forensic DNA process. pcrsim opens up a graphical user interface which allow the user to enter parameters required for the simulation. Once calibrated the program can be used to: reduce the laboratory work needed for validation of new STR kits, help develop methods for interpretation of DNA evidence, etc. This is a first version which is still experimental/under development. ll{ Package: pcrsim Type: Package Version: 0.1 Date: 2013-03-09 License: GPL (>= 2) LazyLoad: yes }
