• Abstract: DNA profiles are made up from multiple series of electrophoretic signal measuring fluorescence over time. Typically, human DNA analysts 'read' DNA profiles using their experience to distinguish instrument noise, artefactual signal, and signal corresponding to DNA fragments of interest. Recent work has developed an artificial neural network, ANN, to carry out the task of classifying fluorescence types into categories in DNA profile electrophoretic signal. But the creation of the necessarily large amount of labelled training data for the ANN is time consuming and expensive, and a limiting factor in the ability to robustly train the ANN. If realistic, prelabelled, training data could be simulated then this would remove the barrier to training an ANN with high efficacy. Here we develop a generative adversarial network, GAN, modified from the pix2pix GAN to achieve this task. With 1078 DNA profiles we train the GAN and achieve the ability to simulate DNA profile information, and then use the generator from the GAN as a 'realism filter' that applies the noise and artefact elements exhibited in typical electrophoretic signal.

  In this work, we show that, on the contrary, the small and training-free filter is sufficient to capture more general artifact representations. Due to its unbias towards both the training and test sources, we define it as Data-Independent Operator (DIO) to achieve appealing improvements on unseen sources. Our detector achieves a remarkable improvement of $13.3%$, establishing a new state-of-the-art performance.
