Population Assignment Testing

Population Assignment Testing is a forensic analytical method used in wildlife forensics that identifies the geographic origin of an unknown biological sample by comparing its genetic profile to reference populations, thereby distinguishing it from other genetic assignment techniques through its focus on source population inference for legal or conservation applications.
