Forensic Genetics probability calculations

Forensic genetics applies genetic tools and scientific methodology to solve criminal and civil litigations. Locard’s Exchange Principle states that every contact leaves a trace, making any evidence a key component in forensic analysis. Biological evidence can comprise of cellular material or cell-free DNA from crime scenes, and as technologies improved, genetic methodologies were expanded to include human and non-human forensic analyses. Although these methodologies can be used for any genome, the prevalence of databases and standard guidelines has allowed human DNA typing to become the gold standard. This review will discuss the historical progression of DNA analysis techniques, strengths and limitations, and their possible forensic applications applied to human and non-human genetics. #Genetics #Forensics #CODIS #Redbloodcells #Nikolay's genetics lessons #VNTR #VNTRs #variablenumbertandemrepeats #forensicsgenetics #allele #geneticprofile #dnafingerprinting #Probability problems #forensicscience #Genetics #forensics #CODIS #redBloodCells #NikolaysGeneticsLessons #Vntr #VNTRs #variableNumberTandemRepeats #allele #GeneticProfile #DNAFingerprinting
