The book is the most comprehensive resource for DNA casework available today. Written by leaders in the fields of biology and statistics, including a contribution from Peter Gill, the father of DNA analysis, the book emphasizes the interpretation of test results and provides the necessary formula in an easily accessible manner. This latest edition is fully updated and includes current and emerging techniques in this fast-moving field.
The book begins by reviewing all pertinent biology, and then provides information on every aspect of DNA. This includes modern interpretation methods and contemporary population genetic models available for estimating DNA frequencies or likelihood ratios.
Following a chapter on procedures for validating databases, the text presents overviews and performance assessments of both modern sampling uncertainty methods and current paternity testing techniques, including new guidelines on paternity testing in alignment with the International Society for Forensic Genetics.
