Sequencing genetic material is now common practice. The general population have become consumers of this information but without an understanding of the biological processes that render sequencing data useful. The interpretation of genetic sequence depends on an appreciation of the basics of genetics and the limits of such data. This book provides the background necessary to understand, interpret, and apply sequencing information to real- world problems. Replication of genetic material, the structure of DNA, typing methods, and forensic applications are all discussed in this useful primer.

Key Features

• Provides self-learning about DNA fingerprinting.

• Includes sections on how to analyze and interpret DNA fingerprinting.

• Covers legal and medicolegal issues and case analyses.

• Teaches novice legal community about DNA fingerprints.

• Summarizes for a general audience the role of ancestry, DNA, and what that means.

The Guide to AIDS is succinct review of HIV/AIDS from a human-interest perspective. Chapters focus on some of the common patterns and prevention of HIV transmission and debunks misconceptions about HIV and AIDS. Brief descriptions the human immune system and epidemiology of HIV are included. The cultural component of disease, treatment and living with AIDS is central to much of this guide intended to synthesize, explain and de-mystify HIV and AIDS.
