In its short but active history, the use of DNA typing has
revolutionized criminal investigations. It is almost inconceivable
to bring a case to trial without positive identification through
what is now our most accurate means. Proficiency with the
methodology, principles, and interpretation of DNA evidence is
crucial for today's criminalist. An introductory text, Forensic DNA
Analysis: A Laboratory Manual presents a contextual history and
overview of the science and use of DNA typing. Logically organized,
with clear, concise language, this manual provides a fundamental
understanding of forensic DNA analysis and a thorough background in
the molecular techniques used to determine an individual's
identity. Students are provided with a sound working knowledge of
the investigative methodology, scientific principles, and the
analysis and interpretation of the resulting data. After laying a
foundation on the rules of the laboratory, the basic scientific
principles, and the types of biological materials, such as hair,
blood, and bone, this practical, hands-on manual provides 12
exercises outlining techniques commonly used in DNA typing.
Designed to be performed in a common laboratory, the experiments
cover DNA extraction, concentration, and assessment; DNA analysis
using restriction fragment length polymorphisms; polymerase chain
reaction and PCR-based typing tests; short tandem repeat analysis;
and mitochondrial DNA analysis. Many of the procedures described
have been adapted from methods used in federal, state, and private
forensic laboratories and are suitable to a wide range of
applications. There is also an extensive glossary for DNA typing
terminology and basic terms used in molecular biology. Instilling
confidence, analytical clarity, and a sense of curiosity, this
comprehensive introduction is the perfect tool for grasping the
techniques and applications of forensic DNA analysis and exploring
the questions and issues involved in forensic science
investigations.
