Use Of Genetics In Forensics. ExculpationIn terms of raw numbers genetic forensics is overwhelmingly a tool for inculpationNonetheless its uses as a tool for exculpation have received public attention out of all proportion to their actual number because of their spectacular nature. Despite some difficulties current forensic genetics is progressively incorporating the analysis of nonhuman genetic material to a greater extent. 2 If the wrong person is caught during the crime then his DNA is matched with the evidence found from the crime scene if it does not match with the individual then he is released. The analysis of this materialincluding other animal species plants or microorganismsis now broadly used providing ancillary evidence in criminalistics in cases such as animal attacks trafficking of species bioterrorism and biocrimes and.
This branch of Forensic Science can be defined as the application of genetics to human and non-human material in the sense of a science with the purpose of studying inherited characteristics for the analysis of inter- and intra-specific variations in populations for the resolution of legal conflicts. Genetic Markers and their importance in Forensics 1. STR analysis has become the gold standard for DNA profiling and is used extensively in forensic applications. The analysis of this materialincluding other animal species plants or microorganismsis now broadly used providing ancillary evidence in criminalistics in cases such as animal attacks trafficking of species bioterrorism and biocrimes and. By examining criminal proceedings in which MAOA-L genotype evidence was introduced we explored the forensic uses of behavioral genetic science. Despite some difficulties current forensic genetics is progressively incorporating the analysis of nonhuman genetic material to a greater extent.
With a known location on the chromosome Single base pair changes such as SNPs and minisatellites act as common genetic markers These can be of two types.
