TLDR
For example, forensic DNA analysis is key to the conviction or exoneration of suspects and the identification of victims of crimes, accidents and disasters, driving the development of innovative methods in molecular genetics, statistics and the use of massive intelligence databases as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
Sherlock Holmes said "it has long been an axiom of mine that the little things are infinitely the most important", but never imagined that such a little thing, the DNA molecule, could become perhaps the most powerful single tool in the multifaceted fight against crime. Twenty years after the development of DNA fingerprinting, forensic DNA analysis is key to the conviction or exoneration of suspects and the identification of victims of crimes, accidents and disasters, driving the development of innovative methods in molecular genetics, statistics and the use of massive intelligence databases.read more

Microsatellite Markers in Biobanking: A New Multiplexed Assay
Gretchen Smith,Debra J. H. Mathews,Samuel Sander-Effron,Deborah Requesens,Deborah Requesens,Nahid Turan,Laura B. Scheinfeldt +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the design and validation of a new multiplexed MSAT assay that does not include forensic Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) markers for use in biobanking operations and quality control management.

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the evaluation process is dynamic and can be promoted through different ways, and it is up to the teacher to choose the one that best suits her educational process.

Capillary zone electrophoresis separation and collection of spermatozoa for the forensic analysis of sexual assault evidence.
TL;DR: The use of capillary zone electrophoresis for the separation of intact sperm from whole and lysed epithelial cells in SAKs is reported, and quantitative PCR is used to verify the collection of sperm cells by targeted amplification of male DNA.

An evaluative study on criminalistics: stock theft scenes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the policing of stock theft through the application of criminalistics in the form of DNA evidence to link a suspect to stock theft scenes and found that each stock theft scene differs from the next, and each must be approached with its own merits.

Hypervariable 'minisatellite' regions in human DNA.
TL;DR: A probe based on a tandem-repeat of the core sequence can detect many highly variable loci simultaneously and can provide an individual-specific DNA ‘fingerprint’ of general use in human genetic analysis.

The Apportionment of Human Diversity
TL;DR: Lewontin this article pointed out that even in the present era of Darwinism there is considerable diversity of opinion about the amount or importance of intragroup variation as opposed to the variation between races and species.

Individual-specific 'fingerprints' of human DNA.
TL;DR: It is shown that other variant (core)n probes can detect additional sets of hypervariable minisatellites to produce somatically stable DNA ‘fingerprints’ which are completely specific to an individual (or to his or her identical twin) and can be applied directly to problems of human identification, including parenthood testing.
