Description: This state-of-the-art collection of easily reproducible methods includes all of the major techniques of DNA analysis currently used in forensic identity testing. The methods include the recovery of DNA from a large range of sample types, analysis of DNA as single and multi-locus VNTR probes, PCR amplification of STR and other loci, and mitochondrial sequencing. The expert scientists writing here -- many from laboratories around the world -- also discuss how to interpret the results in cases of unknown identity and disputed parentage.
-- Covers all steps from extraction of human DNA through to analysis and interpretation
-- Takes advantage of new methodologies such as capillary electrophoresis
-- Clear step-by-step instructions ensure unfailing reproducibility
