Now in its second edition, Forensic DNA Evidence Interpretation is
the most comprehensive resource for DNA casework available today.
Written by leaders in the fields of biology and statistics,
including a contribution from Peter Gill, the father of DNA
analysis, the book emphasizes the interpretation of test results
and provides the necessary formulae in an easily accessible manner.
This latest edition is fully updated and includes current and
emerging techniques in this fast-moving field. The book begins by
reviewing all pertinent biology, and then provides information on
every aspect of DNA analysis. This includes modern interpretation
methods and contemporary population genetic models available for
estimating DNA frequencies or likelihood ratios. Following a
chapter on procedures for validating databases, the text presents
overviews and performance assessments of both modern sampling
uncertainty methods and current paternity testing techniques,
including new guidelines on paternity testing in alignment with the
International Society for Forensic Genetics. Later chapters discuss
the latest methods for mixture analysis, LCN (ultra trace) analysis
and non-autosomal (mito, X, and Y) DNA analysis. The text concludes
with an overview of procedures for disaster victim identification
and information on DNA intelligence databases. Highlights of the
second edition include: New information about PCR processes,
heterozygote balance and back and forward stuttering New
information on the interpretation of low template DNA, drop models
and continuous models Additional coverage of lineage marker
subpopulation effects, mixtures and combinations with autosomal
markers This authoritative book provides a link among the
biological, forensic, and interpretative domains of the DNA
profiling field. It continues to serve as an invaluable resource
that allows forensic scientists, technicians, molecular biologists
and attorneys to use forensic DNA evidence to its greatest
potential.
