DNA Analysis of Natural Fiber Rope* [PDF]

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2008
Abstract: When rope is found at a crime scene, the type of fiber is currently identified through its microscopic characteristics. However, these characteristics may not always unambiguously distinguish some types of rope from others. If rope samples contain cells from the plants of origin, then DNA analysis may prove to be a better way to identify the ...
