PCR in forensic genetics

Biochemical Society Transactions, 2009
Since the introduction in the mid-1980s of analyses of minisatellites for DNA analyses, a revolution has taken place in forensic genetics. The subsequent invention of the PCR made it possible to develop forensic genetics tools that allow both very informative routine investigations and still more and more advanced, special investigations in cases ...

Cancerous Tissues in Forensic Genetic Analysis

Genetic Testing, 2007
Microsatellites or short tandem repeats (STRs) markers are important tools for mapping disease-causing genes by linkage, for performing investigations in forensic medicine, for population genetic studies and for studying genetic modifications in tumors.

DNA quantitation and degradation assessment: a quantitative PCR protocol designed for small forensic genetics laboratories

Electrophoresis, 2020
For over 10 years, quantitative PCR (qPCR) for DNA quantitation has been reported in forensics. However, assays have not been described for small qPCR platforms.

Forensic Genetic Databases: Ethical and Social Dimensions

2015
This article starts with a brief summary of the origins of forensic genetic profiling and databasing. It then provides a typology of forensic genetic databases and discusses key societal and ethical issues related to different configurations of forensic genetic databases across countries.

Recent advances in forensic genetics

Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics, 2004
Like many applications of molecular diagnostics, the field of forensic biology is undergoing a phase of expansion and diversification. The growth of forensic DNA databases and adoption of sophisticated analytical methods have catalyzed this increasing role. The range of molecular markers exploited in the fight against crime is beginning to increase too,

Plant Genetics for Forensic Applications

2012
An emerging application for plant DNA fingerprinting and barcoding involves forensic investigations. Examples of DNA analysis of botanical evidence include crime scene analysis, identifying the source of commercial plant products, and investigation of trade in illicit drugs.

Forensic inference from genetic markers

Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 1993
This review provides an overview of forensic inference from genetic markers. Because the judge and jurors are charged with decision-making, the forensic expert's job is to provide a useful summary of the evidence to the court. Hence, this review focuses on the likelihood ratio as a means of summarizing the genetic data for either criminal or civil ...

Humans Are Animals, Too: Critical Commonalities and Differences Between Human and Wildlife Forensic Genetics

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2019
Wildlife forensics has recently been recognized among the wide variety of forensic science disciplines. This review compares human and wildlife DNA forensics, which use the same genetic tools, but often for far different purposes. Human forensic genetics

Population Genetics in Forensic DNA Typing

Science, 1991
Variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) sequences are used to link defendants with crimes by matching DNA patterns. The probative value of a match is often calculated by multiplying together the estimated frequencies with which each particular VNTR pattern occurs in a reference database.
