Abstract In the course of forensic DNA analysis, the
interpretation of DNA profiles of mixed stains, i.e. cell
material from more than a single donor, has become
increasingly more important. The German Stain Commis-
sion, a joint commission of Institutes of Forensic Science
and Legal Medicine, has therefore developed guidelines
aiming to harmonize the evaluation of mixed stains in
German criminal cases.
Schneider, Keil, Molsberger, Patzelt, Pflug, Rothsmel, Schmitter,
Schneider, and Brinkmann are members of the Stain Commission, the
joint commission of Institutes of Legal Medicine and Forensic Science
in Germany.
