چکیده
This paper represents a discussion of the fundamental principles of DNA technology as it applies to forensic testing. A brief overview of DNA science will be given to clarify the terminology and techniques described for forensic and basic analysis. A historical as well as scientific discussion of the molecular biological tools used to determine DNA profiles and database analysis following such application will also be covered. Finally, specific questions raised during the Symposium will be addressed.

متن کاملThe ParaDNA® Screening System - a case study in bringing forensic R&D to market.
The creation of new technologies and their application to forensic science is key to the field's development. Rapid DNA profiling is one such area of research which has grown in response to a desire from enforcement authorities for in-house forensic DNA processing and rapid access to forensic genetic intelligence. However, introducing novel technologies into the forensics market must be careful...
متن کاملOptimizing Storage and Handling of DNA Extracts.
Nucleic acid sample storage is of paramount importance in forensic science as well as in epidemiological, clinical, and genetic laboratories. Millions of biological samples, including cells, viruses, and DNA/RNA, are stored every year for diagnostics, research, and forensic science. PCR has permitted the analysis of minute sample quantities. Samples such as bone, teeth, touch samples, and some ...
