BIO304: Forensic DNA Fingerprinting Lab DNA Fingerprinting‚ method of identification that compares fragments of DNA. It is sometimes called DNA typing. With the exception of identical twins‚ the complete DNA of each individual is unique. A DNA fingerprint is constructed by first extracting a DNA sample from body tissue or fluid such as hair‚ blood‚ or saliva. The sample is then segmented using enzymes‚ and the segments are arranged by size using a process called electrophoresis. The segments are

Hearsay and Confrontation Clause Analysis The word hearsay in matters of the law takes on a different and complicated definition compared to the use of the word in everyday language. In matters of the law‚ the definition of hearsay is rather technical‚ and is defined by the Federal Rules of Evidence as “a statement that (1) the declarant does not make while testifying at the current trial or hearing; and (2) a party offers in evidence to prove the truth of the matter asserted in the statement.”

not quit in the forensic science field‚ but he has impacted forensic science forever. One day he realized that he could use DNA to identify people while studying x-ray images of a DNA experiment he was running in his lab. At the time he was focusing on methods to resolve paternity and immigration disputes. While analyzing the DNA he discovered the repetitive patterns of DNA that are now known as Variable Number of Tandem Repeats (VNTRs) ended up discovering that they were present in all humans but

amount of tangible evidence against a suspect‚ as well as eyewitness’s and the suspect may still not be convicted. Although fingerprints and DNA are excellent tools when it comes to physical evidences of a crime‚ they are in most cases not considered to credible. For instance‚ there are different kinds of DNA that can be collected at a scene one of which is touch DNA; this is collected using a cotton swab‚ or Q-tip‚ and distilled water to collect the evidences (Missouri state highway Patrol Crime laboratory

Is it fair to be stopped and searched for the color of your skin? Is it even right to judge someone by the way they dress‚ walk‚ talk‚ or even move? Maybe in some cases it

Review of 53BP1 inhibitory mechanism in Homologous Recombination in Brca1-Deficient Cells by Blocking Resection of DNA Breaks and Its Chemotherapeutic Implication BRCA1 is tumor repressor gene and plays an important role in breast cancer development. In the DNA double-stranded break (DSB) repair‚ loss of BRCA1 contributes to defective homologous recombination (HR) and predominant non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ)‚ which leads to significant defects in genomic stability with increased amount of

Racial Profiling within America’s Criminal Justice System The criminal justice system of America is deeply scarred with racial bias. Crimes are being committed and‚ in turn‚ are resulting with innocent people doing hard-time. Thankfully‚ newfound methods of appealing court rulings are finding justice for these minorities; however‚ the results are as shocking as the crimes being committed.

To solve a case like this one there has to be a substantial amount of physical evidence that leads to the suspect. In the late 1800’s there were not many forensic tools available to police and investigators. Fingerprinting‚ lie detection‚ and hair testing were among many of these tools that were not available. This being said there were different tactics
