Forensic DNA profiling procedures are mainly based on high resolution and high throughput capillary electrophoresis separation and detection systems of PCR amplicons obtained from DNA genomic markers with different inheritance patterns. In
DNA Electrophoresis Prools for Forensic Genetics,
expert researchers in the field detail many of the prools and methods which are now commonly used to perform forensic DNA profiling. It includes prools for profiling of autosomal STRs, Y-STRs, X-STRs, autosomal SNPs, INDELS, Y-SNPs, mtDNA-SNPs, and mtDNA hypervariable regions HV1 and HV2 . Prools for molecular identification of non-human species and mRNA profiling for body fluid identification are also included. 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 prools, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
