Balding is best known for the Balding–Nichols forensic DNA match probability formula, widely used around the world to evaluate weight of evidence for DNA profile evidence allowing for shared ancestry between the alleged and alternative contributors.[4][5][6] His is also known for the Balding–Nichols model of allele frequencies in structured populations and as one of the founders of the approximate Bayesian computation method of statistical inference.
As Director of MIG, he leads a team developing statistical and computational methods for the analysis of genomics data—with applications in medicine, biology, agriculture and forensics.
