Molecular analysis of the human mitochondrial DNA control region for forensic identity testing

Current Protocols in Human Genetics
Mitchell M Holland, E F Huffine

Abstract

This unit on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) highlights methods used to perform mtDNA sequence analysis on highly degraded biological material. The focus is on applications to forensic casework, and a number of case examples are provided. However, the laboratory working with ancient DNA, or any basic research laboratory, will benefit from this information.

Ancient DNA

Ancient DNA sequences are able to offer valuable insights into molecular evolutionary processes, but are notoriously difficult to analyze due to molecular damage and exogenous dna contamination. Discover the latest research on Ancient DNA here.
