Māori views of forensic DNA evidence: an instrument of justice or criminalizing technology?

open access: yesNew Genetics and Society, 2021
DNA profiling is just one of many tools available to police in a criminal investigation. However, unlike any other criminal investigative tool, DNA profiling has captured the public imagination. Its portrayal in popular fiction has given rise to the “CSI

A Unique Allele Variant at STR Locus D2S1338 in a Paternity Testing Case

open access: yesArab Journal of Forensic Sciences & Forensic Medicine, 2021
Relationship testing through DNA profiling may undesirably be affected by the rare allele variants, tri-allelic patterns and null alleles. Therefore, it is vital to report such anomalies.

Suicidal Cut-throat Fatalities: A Case Report from the Kingdom of Bahrain

open access: yesArab Journal of Forensic Sciences & Forensic Medicine, 2020
Using a sharp tool by an individual to cause a severe cut-throat injury is considered an unusual method for suicide. Investigating such suicidal cases is challenging, as no witness is available only the crime scene findings, the autopsy finding and the ...

Genetic structure of the population of wild-growing vines of the Utrish Nature Reserve

open access: yesВавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2023
Grapes are one of the most common agricultural crops in the world. Currently, the analysis of genotypes directly at the DNA level is considered to be the most accurate method for studying the plant gene pool. The study of wild vines and ancient varieties

Benchmarking Metagenomic Classifiers on Simulated Ancient and Modern Metagenomic Data

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Taxonomic profiling of ancient metagenomic samples is challenging due to the accumulation of specific damage patterns on DNA over time. Although a number of methods for metagenome profiling have been developed, most of them have been assessed on modern ...

The Landscape of Repetitive Elements in the Refined Genome of Chilli Anthracnose Fungus Colletotrichum truncatum

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The ascomycete fungus Colletotrichum truncatum is a major phytopathogen with a broad host range which causes anthracnose disease of chilli. The genome sequencing of this fungus led to the discovery of functional categories of genes that may play ...

Change-point model on nonhomogeneous Poisson processes with application in copy number profiling by next-generation DNA sequencing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We propose a flexible change-point model for inhomogeneous Poisson Processes, which arise naturally from next-generation DNA sequencing, and derive score and generalized likelihood statistics for shifts in intensity functions.

Spatial differences in genetic diversity and northward migration suggest genetic erosion along the boreal caribou southern range limit and continued range retraction

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
With increasing human activities and associated landscape changes, distributions of terrestrial mammals become fragmented. These changes in distribution are often associated with reduced population sizes and loss of genetic connectivity and diversity (i ...
