Hello fellow tempers
I just heard about a new investigation method used by police department : Project PatronYme.
It is the very first time I hear about such method and I sadly couldn't find any documentation in english.
In short, in 2000, a woman was murdered at Joncquière, province of Quebec. On the crime scene, they found DNA sample of the murdered (under her nails and other part of her body). The DNA didn't match anyone in the criminal database. However, they used another method in order to pin potential suspect : Project PatronYme.
The way DNA works, when a baby is concieved, the father will give his Y chromosone to the child if it's a boy. Also, in most cases, the child will bear its father's last name.
Using different database of DNA, people working on Project Patronyme somehow managed to associate specific Chromosone Y to specific last name (family name)
In the present case, investigators managed to identify the last name "Grenon", and with that information, they could identify a suspect, Marc-André Grenon, and put him under surveillance to get an actual sample of his DNA, compare it to the one on the crime scene, and there, the match was perfect.
I don't know if any of you heard of such investigation method. The news were talking about it like it was something very new. And as I said, I couldn't find any papers on it in english.
I will try to find something that you guys could read.
