Description
This program will highlight recent advances in forensics including the use of laser micro dissection to separate sample mixtures, the use of mitochodrial DNA and chromosome short tandem repeats (Y STRs) in the testing of sample mixture, the application of Ninhydrin staining on clothing to detect secondary transfer and the use of ionization mass spec to analyze short tandem repeat (STR) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data simultaneously.
LEARNER OUTCOMES:
