DNA analysis has become the standard method applied by most forensic genetic labs, especially in criminal forensic casework, identification of human remains, and paternity testing. Forensic DNA Typing Protocols provides protocols for the major methods of DNA analysis that have been recently introduced for identity testing, including Y chromosome, mtDNA, and SNP typing. Addition topics covered include protocols on new applications in forensic genetic labs, proper DNA quantification of forensic samples, and the creation of large STR multiplexes for specific purposes.

A state-of-the-art collection of readily reproducible laboratory methods for DNA identity analysis, including Y chromosome haplotyping, mtDNA, and SNP typing. The book offers well-tested protocols for DNA quantification using real-time PCR on forensic samples and for the determination of the number of amelogenine gene copies. For forensic geneticists, there are readily reproducible methods for species identification, ancient DNA, and pharmacogenetics. Additional chapters address new applications in the forensic genetics lab, such a species identification or typing of CYP polymorphisms for the analysis of adverse to drugs.
