DNA in Forensics
DNA research has led to many interesting developments in the field of practical law. Beyond standard fingerprinting, Forensic Scientists can now use all forms of bodily excretions to identify physical presence. The process, known as genetic fingerprinting or DNA profiling allows forensic investigations to make more determinative judgments about the evidence presented.
Developed in 1984 by a British scientist named Sir Alec Jeffreys, DNA profiling has allowed for the capture of many otherwise undetectable felons, as well as cleared many innocent victims from wrongful conviction.
DNA profiling begins with samples taken from the crime scene. Once suspects are established, their DNA is extracted in a very small amount called a 'reference sample'. The DNA from the scene are then compare to the reference samples in an attempt to find genetic matches. The DNA itself can be analyzed in on of several different ways. These include 'Restriction fragment length polymorphism' (RFLP) analyses, 'polymerase chain reaction' (PCR) analyses, 'short tandem repeats' (STR) analyses, Mitochondrial analyses and Y-chromosone analyses.
Today's world is incorporated with DNA databases. Although both private and public ones exist, most (and certainly the larger ones) are publicly operated. The two largest databases belong to the USA and the United Kingdom, raising the question of ethical governance of people in relation to control of personal information.

»Cracking the Code of Life (2001) - DNA DVD
Description : The work of geneticists who have labored for years to map human DNA is the subject of this offbeat yet highly informative documentary from the PBS series Nova. Host Robert Krulwich, a correspondent for ABC Nightline, visits with scientists who explain, in terms understandable to laymen, the enormous challenges faced and overcome by scientists working on the Human Genome Project.

»DNA (Paperback)
Description : What makes DNA different from hordes of competitors purporting to help readers understand genetics is that it is written by none other than James Watson, of Watson and Crick fame. He and his co-author Andrew Berry have produced a clear and easygoing history of genetics, from Mendel through genome sequencing. Watson offers readers a sense of immediacy, a behind-the scenes familiarity with some of the most exciting developments in modern science.

»Forensic DNA Typing, Second Edition: Biology, Technology, and Genetics of STR Markers (Hardcover)
Description : While Dr. Butler's book on DNA typing is clearly based on experience and profound understanding of the subject, I was most impressed with the readability. I was thrilled to find principles illustrated by examples from current events! Students of science will find this book refreshing. Well written (and edited)!
