چکیده
Forensic DNA Applications: An Interdisciplinary Perspective (2014; Edited by Dragan Primorac and Moses Schanfield. CRC Press, Taylor Francis Group. 23 Chapters, 621 pages) is intended for different types of audiences interested in forensic medicine. It could be both a textbook for forensic molecular biology students and a reference book for practitioners of forensic molecular biology. Moreover it is expected to be used by lawyers and judges dealing with civil and criminal cases involving DNA technology. The book covers the ever-growing field of forensic DNA testing, and an effort has been made to present state of the art knowledge on each topic at the time of submission (March 2013).
