A Simplified Guide to DNA Evidence Introduction
A Simplified Guide To DNA Evidence Introduction The establishment of DNA analysis within the criminal justice system in the mid-1980s revolutionized the field of forensic science. With subsequent refinement of DNA analysis methods in crime laboratories, even minute amounts of blood, saliva, semen, skin cells or other biological material may be used to develop investigative leads, link a perpetrator or victim to a crime scene, or confirm or disprove an account of the crime. Because of the accuracy and reliability of forensic DNA analysis, this evidence has also become an invaluable tool for exonerating individuals who have been wrongfully convicted. The successes of DNA evidence in criminal trials has captured more than headlines, however—it has captured the public’s imagination as well. Jurors now increasingly expect DNA evidence to be presented in a wider array of cases, even when other types of evidence may be more valuable to the investigation. Principles of DNA Evidence DNA is sometimes referred to as a “genetic blueprint” because it contains the instructions that govern the development of an organism. Characteristics such as hair color, eye color, height and other physical features are all determined by genes that reside in just 2% of human DNA. This portion is called the coding region because it provides the instructions for proteins to create these features. The other 98% of human DNA is considered non- coding and the scientific community has only recently begun to identify its functions. Forensic scientists, however, use this non-coding DNA in criminal investigations. Inside this region of DNA are unique repeating patterns that can be used to differentiate one person from another.

Forensic Chemistry Degree Mass Spectrometry MS breaks samples apart and separates the ionized fragments by mass and charge. Generally, forensic chemists are trained in organic chemistry. This ensures that the forensic chemists can run analysis on blood and other body samples to identify DNA. They are also trained in organic chemistry so that they can run toxicology screenings. It is also important for a forensic chemist to have knowledge of physics. There are also forensic chemists who specialize in certain areas, such as chemicals that are tied to explosives or arson. These chemists will be called to a crime scene to look at fire patterns when determining if arson was involved in a fire or they will be called to investigate chemicals associated with a bomb. Once becoming a forensic chemist, there are many places where a forensic chemist could work. A forensic chemist might work for a private lab, or at a national agency like the FBI. Twitter Facebook Instagram Youtube. Back to Crime Library. A mysterious white powder, a blood smear, and a moldy ham sandwich—completely unrelated items to most. But they could be meaningful for forensic chemists, who analyze physical evidence and samples for clues to solve crimes. Television shows such as Bones, CSI, and Dexter have glamorized forensic scientists and made the field more popular, so competition can be intense. However, if you have a strong desire to shape the world of justice by using science to solve crime puzzles, then a career in forensic science could be worth pursuing.

Forensic Analysis of Expirated Blood
Forensic analysis of expirated blood ANDREA DONALDSON A Thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand January 2010 For my nephew Brayden, who taught me how precious life is and to always follow your heart. ii Abstract In forensic investigations the distinction between expirated bloodstains (blood from the mouth, nose or lungs) and impact spatter (blood from gunshots, explosives, blunt force trauma and/or machinery accidents) is often important but difficult to determine due to their high degree of size similarity, which may result in the patterns being incorrectly classified. Expirated bloodstains on an accused person’s clothing occur when assisting an injured person, a finding which would tend to exonerate that individual. Impact spatter stains on clothing tend to occur due to the proximity of the person to the bloodshedding event, implying guilt. Therefore this project determined the characteristics inherent in each bloodstain type by using high speed digital video analysis and developed a test using PCR analysis to distinguish between the two types of bloodstain patterns to allow for proper bloodstain classification. The current study developed a test involving PCR analysis using DNA from human- specific oral microbes as a biomarker for the presence of saliva and hence oral expirated bloodstains. This PCR method is very specific to human oral Streptococci, with no PCR product being made from human DNA or DNA from soil or other microbes that were tested. It is also very sensitive, detecting as little as 60 fg of target DNA. The PCR was not inhibited by the presence of blood and could detect target DNA in expirated blood for at least 92 days after deposit on cardboard or cotton fabric.

Application of Entomology in Forensic Sciences
DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.16969/teb.90382 Türk. entomol. bült., 2016, 6(3): 269-275 ISSN 2146-975X Review (Derleme) Application of entomology in forensic sciences Adli bilimlerde entomolojinin uygulanması Meltem KÖKDENER1* Summary Forensic entomology is the use of the insects in legal purposes is becoming increasingly more valuable in criminal investigations. Insects are attracted to the body immediately after death and lay eggs in it. Forensic entomologist use knowledge of insect to solve crimes and insect evidences may shed light on different aspects of the crimes. This science emerged as a major discipline in the developed countries and its role in criminal investigations became more widespread. Nowadays, forensic entomologists are called upon more frequently to refer their knowledge and expertise and to collaborate in criminal investigations and to become important part of forensic investigation teams. Unfortunately, it has not received much attention in Turkey as an important investigative tool. In spite of this major potential, however, the field of forensic entomology uncertain in our country, largely. There are lack of knowledge of the benefits, application and hesitation on practically in our country. This study aims to describe the principles and concept of forensic entomology, to determine the usefulness and applicability of insect evidence, to develop awareness of insect and to attract attention of forensic medicine professionals to the issue. Key words: Forensic entomology, decomposition, postmortem interval, arthropods Özet Böceklerin adli amaç için kullanımı olan adli entomoloji olay yeri incelemelerinde oldukça artan bir öneme sahiptir.
