Forensic DNA Transfer

Forensic DNA Transfer

Forensic DNA Transfer provides a guide to the recognition and current understanding of DNA transfer in forensic criminal investigations. Increased improvements in technology mean that it is now routinely possible to obtain DNA profiles from non-visible deposits. How or when the DNA in question was deposited may be an issue in the context of the case especially if the donor of the DNA is not in dispute. A DNA profile alone cannot reveal when or how that DNA was deposited at a crime scene nor can it reveal the body matter from which it originated. Issues of transfer associated with activities may be debated—which the traditional discrimination purpose of DNA profiling cannot address. DNA may be everywhere and anywhere—in homes at workplaces during transport and on personal items including clothing. DNA from a person may be on an object they have never contacted or in a room they have never entered. Concepts discussed in the book include non-self DNA on hands through day-to-day activities the prevalence of background DNA in the environment and perhaps on the exhibit the persistence of any DNA transferred and that a DNA result will depend on these variables as well as recovery techniques. Since DNA may be transferred to an exhibit: (a) during the commission of a crime (b) before the crime and/or (c) after the crime through handling examination and testing this book covers various transfer pathways and sources of DNA. Documented cases of inadvertent transfer of DNA resulting in wrongful convictions or the misdirection of criminal investigations are discussed—with an emphasis on contamination mitigation throughout the entire process. Forensic DNA Transfer examines the additional complexity resulting from non-visible deposits of DNA that impact on sampling and testing regimes. The changing understanding of the composition of purported 'touch DNA' deposits from the skin including extracellular DNA transported via body secretions is described. Further the newer focus on interpreting DNA evidence—using activity level propositions and the rationale and associated issues—is also discussed.

Forensic DNA Profiling A Practical Guide to Assigning Likelihood Ratios

Forensic DNA Profiling A Practical Guide to Assigning Likelihood Ratios

DNA testing and its forensic analysis are recognized as the “gold standard” in forensic identification science methods. However there is a great need for a hands-on step-by-step guide to teach the forensic DNA community how to interpret DNA mixtures how to assign a likelihood ratio and how to use the subsequent likelihood ratio when reporting interpretation conclusions. Forensic DNA Profiling: A Practical Guide to Assigning Likelihood Ratios will provide a roadmap for labs all over the world and the next generation of analysts who need this foundational understanding. The techniques used in forensic DNA analysis are based upon the accepted principles of molecular biology. The interpretation of a good-quality DNA profile generated from a crime scene stain from a single-source donor provides an unambiguous result when using the most modern forensic DNA methods. Unfortunately many crime scene profiles are not single source. They are described as mixed since they contain DNA from two or more individuals. Interpretation of DNA mixtures represents one of the greatest challenges to the forensic DNA analyst. As such the book introduces terms used to describe DNA profiles and profile interpretation. Chapters explain DNA extraction methods the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) capillary electrophoresis (CE) likelihood ratios (LRs) and their interpretation and population genetic models—including Mendelian inheritance and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. It is important that analysts understand how LRs are generated in a probabilistic framework ideally with an appreciation of both semicontinuous and fully continuous probabilistic approaches. KEY FEATURES:• The first book to focus entirely on DNA mixtures and the complexities involved with interpreting the results • Takes a hands-on approach offering theory with worked examples and exercises to be easily understood and implementable by laboratory personnel • New methods heretofore unpublished previously provide a means to innovate deconvoluting a mixed DNA profile assign an LR and appropriately report the weight of evidence • Includes a chapter on assigning LRs for close relatives (i. e. “It’s not me it was my brother”) and discusses strategies for the validation of probabilistic genotyping softwareForensic DNA Profiling fills the void for labs unfamiliar with LRs and moving to probabilistic solutions and for labs already familiar with LRs but wishing to understand how they are calculated in more detail. The book will be a welcome read for lab professionals and technicians students and legal professionals seeking to understand and apply the techniques covered. | Forensic DNA Profiling A Practical Guide to Assigning Likelihood Ratios

The Complete Guide to the ABC Molecular Biology Certification Exam

The Complete Guide to the ABC Molecular Biology Certification Exam

In 2009 the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) authored the report Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward. In it the Committee expressed the need for accreditation and certification. Accreditation long recognized by public labs as an important benchmark in quality was recognized as an important way to standardize laboratories that provide forensic services. Certification can play an important role as a method of oversight in the forensic sciences—something also recommended by the - National Commission on Forensic Science in October 2014. The Complete Guide to the ABC's Molecular Biology is a professional certification examination preparation text for forensic scientists taking the American Board of Criminalistics Examination in Molecular Biology. The book serves as a resource for forensic scientists—who are facing more and more pressure to become certified—to support them in their pursuit of forensic certification. In the years since the NAS report was published there has been increased discussion of forensic certification requirements. ABC’s Molecular Biology exam is a quality certification and learning the concepts for it will invariably help any professional working in the field. The book prepares readers in all relevant topic areas including: accreditation safety biological screen principles anatomy and cell biology crime scene and evidence handling concepts in genetics biochemistry statistics DNA evidence and DNA testing.
