Abstract
We present a new methodology for analysing forensic identification problems involving DNA mixture traces where several individuals may have contributed to the trace. The model used for identification and separation of DNA mixtures is based on a gamma distribution for peak area values. In this paper we illustrate the gamma model and apply it on several real examples from forensic casework.
