The use of genetics for the resolution of legal conflicts has
recently been gaining a higher profile, largely as a result of
scientific and technological advancements and the substantial
broadening of applications. The theoretical framework underlying
forensic genetics is the same irrespective of the materials and
technology involved, however a great divide still exists in the
manner and processes related to human and non-human analyses.This
advanced handbook intends to overcome the historical barriers
between the scientific fields of legal medicine, biodiversity and
conservation, and food analysis by presenting a unifying, global
perspective on the implications of genetic analyses on forensic
affairs. This global perspective is presented in three parts: modes
of inheritance and reproduction and taxonomic implications; current
technological approaches and future perspectives; and a
comprehensive systematization of the types of applications and
organisms. Finally, a critical revision of the current
investigative/expert systems and future perspectives is
undertaken.This book provides a collection of international
research, thereby constituting a reference platform for the
forensic community and an advanced textbook for graduate students.
It encompasses the theoretical bases of the field, and presents in
the context of both perspectives of forensic action - probative and
investigative - a comprehensive coverage of the current
applications and technological state of the art.
