High impact information on Forensic Sciences

  • A number of applications of analysis of human Y-chromosome microsatellite loci to human evolution and forensic science require reliable estimates of the mutation rate and knowledge of the mutational mechanism [1].
  • Systematic errors of this type were not found using the interim ceiling principle recently advocated in the National Research Council's report [National Research Council (1992) DNA Technology in Forensic Science (Natl. Acad. Sci., Washington)] [2].
  • In this paper, we compare the ABI Prism 377 slab-gel sequencer currently used by the Forensic Science Service with three leading capillary array electrophoresis instruments: the ABI Prism 3700, the Amersham MegaBACE 1000 and the 16-capillary ABI Prism 3100 [3].
  • A new multiplex PCR system, developed by the Forensic Science Service (FSS) in the United Kingdom, permits the coamplification and typing of six short tandem repeat (STR) loci: HUMFGA, D8S1179, HUMTHO1, HUMvWA, D18S51, D21S11 and the sex determining marker Amelogenin [4].
  • All three isozymes show genetic variation, and PGM1 has achieved prominence as a key marker in genetic linkage mapping and in forensic science [5].

Gene context of Forensic Sciences

  • This Se genotyping system is a simple method available for the forensic science field in Japan. The crossover region of the se(fus) gene is a 164-bp stretch corresponding to the regions between the 253rd and 416th of the Sec1 gene and between the 211th and 374th of the Sec2 gene [13].
  • The future of forensic and crime scene science. Part I. A UK forensic science user and provider perspective [14].
  • Commentary on: Mark Benecke and Larry Barksdale, Distinction of bloodstain patterns from fly artifacts. Forensic Science International. 137(2003) 152-159 [15].
  • Keratin characterization through electrophoretic techniques has been used for species identification in forensic science and in taxonomic studies [16].
  • Currently, optical devices, such as microscopes and CCD cameras, are utilized for identification of bullets and tool marks in the field of forensic science [17].
