Recent years have seen the emergence of new high-throughput PCR and sequencing
platforms with the potential to bring analysis of transcriptional biomarkers to a broader range …

DNA typing from degraded human remains is still challenging forensic DNA scientists not
only in the prospective of DNA purification but also in the interpretation of established DNA …

DNA analysis was first applied to the identification of victims of armed conflicts and other
situations of violence (ACOSV) in the mid-1990s, starting in South America and the Balkans …

We optimised the automated extraction of DNA from old and contemporary skeletal remains

Forensic investigations using DNA analysis have been grown rapidly. Samples retrieved
from crime scene may be exposed to different conditions before proceeding. This study …

When a body is decomposed, hard tissues such as teeth may provide the only DNA source
for human identification. There is currently no consensus as to the best DNA extraction …

Identification of incinerated human remains may rely on genetic analysis of burned bone
which can prove far more challenging than fresh tissues. Severe thermal insult results in the …
