Since the enormously successful first edition of Forensic DNA Typing was published, the Human Genome Project has published a draft sequence of the human genome and completed the finished reference sequence. The advent of modern DNA technology has resulted in the increased ability to perform human identity testingdesirable in a number of situations including the determination of perpetrators of violent crime such as murder and rape, resolving unestablished paternity, and identifying remains of missing persons or victims of mass disasters. The technology has been utilized in identifying remains from victims of the World Trade Center twin towers collapse following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the President Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal, and the identification of the remains in the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Indeed, our perceptions of history have been changed with DNA evidence that revealed Thomas Jefferson fathered a child by one of his slaves. This book examines the science of current forensic DNA typing methods by focusing on the biology, technology, and genetic interpretation of short tandem repeat (STR) markers, which encompass the most common forensic DNA analysis methods used today. Ten new chapters have been added to accommodate the explosion of new information since the turn of the century.
*The only book available that specifically covers detailed information on mitochondrial DNA and the Y chromosome
*Chapters cover the topic from introductory level right up to "cutting edge" research
*High-profile cases are addressed throughout the book, near the sections dealing with the science or issues behind these cases
*NEW TO THIS EDITION: D.N.A. Boxes--boxed Data, Notes & Applications sections throughout the book offer higher levels of detail on specific questions

@Amazon Service.
Its a complete mess and an ordeal experience ! They wont care about the customers. They care about there payment not about the quality.
I had tough time with the customer service of the amazon. They are very arrogant,rude and irksome. They will rip off you easily. And pretends like generous people with courtesy (when u complains)! but they are'nt they are Douche ..
If you want this book go for another service. I order this book for the 1st day of my class. But i received the book after many annoying hurdles with the amazon at the last week of the classes.

Forensic DNA Typing
| Customer Rating: | | I am currently using this book for a Forensic Biology class and have, so far, found it to be very informative and easy to understand. |
Forensic DNA Typing, Second Edition: Biology, Technology, and STR Markers
| Customer Rating: | | I would not recommend this book to someone who was completely new to the use of genetics as a tool for forensics. I did an undergraduate degree in biotechnoloy in 2000 and wanted to review and learn more about specifically how most DNA in crime labs was being processed today. This book was recommended to me by the head of a prominent DNA crime lab. It is written at a higher level than most texts but offers a wealth of detailed information, particularly if you are interested in contrasting advantages and disadvantages of different kits and equipment. |
Great book for learning DNA
| Customer Rating: | | This book is a great book for teaching DNA. It breaks down the information pretty good in some areas but not as well in others. Overall I would say it is a good book. |
