"As a communicator and researcher engaged forensic DNA analyses, John Butler is at the pinnacle of his profession. As with the previous two volumes in this series, Butler leaves no stone unturned in the clarity of his A to Y coverage of forensic DNA interpretation. This book is bound to find its way onto the fingertips of practitioners, attorneys, and students." --Richard Saferstein, Ph.D., Chief Forensic Scientist (Retired)"…It is an excellent companion to his prior book on methodology, providing important information on interpretation of results… The book should prove valuable to all people involved in processing and interpreting results used in forensic genetics and criminal investigation." -- Bruce McCord, Ph.D., Professor, Florida International University"Advanced Topics in DNA Typing/Interpretation is Dr. John Butler’s best book yet in his critically acclaimed series of DNA text books..." --Stephen Patrick Hogan Adjunct Associate Professor of Biological Science and Criminal Justice, State University of New York at Albany
