Dinucleotide (CA)n tandem repeats on the human X-chromosome and the history of the Mediterranean populations

Annals of Human Biology, 2018
Background: Tandem repeats (STRs) are genomic markers of particular interest in forensic and population genetics. Most of the population data currently available correspond to the variation of STRs of forensic panels, which barely include dinucleotide ...

On Second Thought: The Impact of Confessions, DNA, and Belief Perseverance on Students' Perceptions of Guilt and Interrogations

Behavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite growing public knowledge of false confession cases, research with students and community members continues to find that people assume confessions indicate guilt. The present research explored the implications of belief perseverance: the tendency to maintain a belief even when confronted with compelling contradictory evidence.

Examining peak height ratios in low template DNA samples with and without sampling using a single-tube extraction protocol [PDF]

, 2015
The developments of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the short tandem repeat multiplex kits increased the ease and lowered the time and sample quantity required for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) typing compared to previous methods.

Genetics and Forensics

, 2015
This article provides an overview of the use of genetic science and technologies for criminal investigation and forensics. After discussing the history of the use of biological markers for criminal identification and forensics, we outline the emergence of DNA analysis as the 'gold standard' in forensic identification.

Teacher–Student Relationship Quality as a Mediator in the Association of Parent–Child Communication With Adolescent Bullying Perpetration and Substance Use: Evidence From the 2017/2018 HBSC Study

Behavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bullying perpetration and substance use are two prevalent and concerning forms of delinquent behavior worldwide. Although parent–child communication has been theorized to reduce adolescents' involvement in these behaviors, empirical evidence remains mixed.

Anxiety and Aggression Among College Students With High‐Risk Adverse Childhood Experiences: The Role of Bullying Perpetration

Behavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the potential associations between anxiety and aggressive behaviors in college students with high‐risk adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and explores how this relationship may be influenced by bullying perpetration, applying general strain theory. A sample of 282 college students aged 19 to 29 (Mage = 21.59, SDage = 2.48;

The examination of baseline noise and the impact on the interpretation of low-template DNA samples [PDF]

, 2016
It is common practice for DNA STR profiles to be analyzed using an analytical threshold (AT), but as more low template DNA (LT-DNA) samples are tested it has become evident that these thresholds do not adequately separate signal from noise.

Material Deprivation, Psychological Distress, and Substance Use Among Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Adolescents: The Mediating Roles of Social Relationships

Behavioral Sciences &the Law, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous research on the mediating role of the quality of social relationships between material deprivation and adolescent health has predominantly utilized samples from mainstream populations to examine mental health outcomes, neglecting the critical need to explore behavioral health outcomes, such as substance use, particularly in ...
