About the Book

Forensic DNA Evidence: Methods and Interpretation is the most comprehensive resource for DNA casework available today. Written by leaders in the fields of biology and statistics, it provides the necessary formulae in a manner easily accessible to caseworkers. The book begins by reviewing all pertinent biology, then provides information on every aspect of DNA analysis, such as modern interpretation methods and issues, and options and performance of modern population genetic models. It also includes the most modern methods for mixture analysis, LCN (ultra trace) analysis, and non-autosomal (mito, X and Y) DNA analysis, as well as 60 tables and over 800 references.
