Acerca de los autores: Daniel Kling holds a PhD in biostatistics and is the author of several publications in forensic genetics including the book
"Relationship inference using Familias and RdStatistical methods in Forensic Genetics". His current research includes topics such as linked markers in relationship inference, software developments, and population genetics. He is the developer of the software
Familias, FamLink, and FamLinkX, all of which are widely used in forensics.

Thore Egeland is a professor of statistics at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences.

Andreas Tillmar, PhD, works as a forensic geneticist at the Nation Board of Forensic Medicine, Sweden and as a senior lecturer and associated professor of forensic genetics at Linköping University, Sweden. He is well experienced from working over 15 years in the field. During these years he has signed more than 10,000 reports on DNA-based paternity, kinship and missing person investigations. His current tasks include technical leadership mixed with R&D. His research is focused on various topics of forensic genetics such as applying new genetic polymorphisms for complex kinship testing, population genetics, applied biostatistics and most recently forensic DNA genealogy. He is the main, senior or co-author of more than 40 peer-reviewed articles. He is the chairman of the English Speaking Working Group (ESWG) of the International Society for Forensic Genetics (ISFG)

Lourdes Prieto holds a PhD in forensic biology and her profile is more focused on real cases. She has been working at the DNA Lab of the Spanish Forensic Police for 30 years. She is experienced in disaster victim identification and missing person scenarios, either actively participating in the identifications (like the 11M bombing attack in Madrid 2004, victims of the Pinochet’s dictatorship, several plane and train accidents) or advising on massive identification projects in countries including Colombia, Cyprus, El Salvador, Guatemala, Iraq, Mexico and Ukraine.
