Annotation -
This course introduces students to the forensic DNA analysis as the dominant method of determining the origin of biological material. It describes biological principles on which the field is based, application circuits (criminology, kinship analysis, identification analysis, bioarcheology, recreational genetics), principles of analysis from the collection of biological material to final evaluation. It brings an overview of non-ID analysis and includes the basics of forensic statistics in the field of genetic analysis.
