This
volume presents a series of protocols and methods, some of which are not widely
used by researchers/practitioners, and will aid in the execution of different
laboratory techniques. Forensic DNA Typing Protocols, Second Edition is
arranged into a series of related chapters. Chapter 1-3 examines two different
aspects of RNA analysis for body fluid identification. Chapters 4-7 focuses on
the storage of biological materials and the extraction of DNA from hard
tissues. Chapters 8-10 present methods for monitoring the quality of DNA
extracts, and steps to aid in the purification of DNA. Chapters 11-16 talk
about methods on non-standard markers, such as INDELs, Y chromosome STRs, and
mitochondrial DNA. Detailed procedures and data analysis for phenotypes and
ancestry are explored in Chapter 17-19. The last chapter (20) looks at the
application of DNA typing to the identification of non-human material to
species level. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology
series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics,
lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily
reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding
known pitfalls.
Practical and thorough, Forensic DNA Typing Protocols, Second Edition, is
a valuable resource for forensic specialists, researchers, and anyone
interested in the field of forensic science.
