This initiative aims to establish a national-level forensic biobank focused on the Kenyan population. By compiling a comprehensive forensic genetic frequency database, the project will enhance the accuracy of human identification, kinship analysis, and population structure assessment in legal and investigative contexts. This resource will not only support criminal justice systems but also promote equitable representation of African genomic diversity in global forensic datasets. The project underscores the importance of ethical biobanking, community engagement, and scientific rigor in the advancement of forensic genetics in Kenya.
