Forensic DNA profiling and database.

Recent Advances in Forensic DNA Analysis

Forensic DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) analysis or DNA profiling has played a major role in the criminal justice system. New techniques and technologies for DNA profiling continue to evolve every year. This paper reviews the literature reported during January 2011 through June 2013 in the field of forensic DNA analysis. Recent advances in almost all aspects of DNA analysis – which include sample ...

The Forensic Use of DNA Profiling

The application of DNA profiling in the criminal justice system is an important issue facing Australian courts and criminal investigators today. The technology is changing rapidly and several new techniques are becoming available. Increasingly, legal advisers are required to come to grips with this kind of scientific evidence. DNA profiling has been described as a powerful breakthrough in foren...
