DNA analysis is an essential tool in forensic biology, enabling individual identification through the comparison of genetic profiles based on short tandem repeat markers (STRs) and single nucleotide ...

Genetics studies are used by wildlife managers and researchers to gain inference into a population of a species of interest. To gain these insights, microsatellites have been the primary method; ...

Researchers detected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) tied to osteoporosis risk from a drop of blood, in a 15-minute, inexpensive test using an investigational electrochemical device. 10-µL ...

Association studies that correlate SNP patterns to disease risks are straightforward. Clues to the past can be subtler, but they are found at all levels of evolution--from the great branching points ...

It is possible to retrieve forensically relevant information from human DNA in household dust. A North Carolina State University-led study found it is possible to retrieve forensically relevant ...
