This volume explores the fundamental principles and the application of technologies for each aspect of forensic DNA analysis. Topics include methods and the best practices for DNA isolation from forensic biological samples and human remains, messenger RNA and small (micro) RNA profiling, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods, capillary electrophoresis (CE), next-generation short tandem repeat (STR) genotyping kits, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence analysis.
