Based upon DNA fingerprint applications, this book provides its relative role in solving criminal cases. Also, it shows its role in determining filiation and the identification of the dead body. It is important to assert that DNA fingerprint applications represent the best approach in criminal forensic research laboratories.
The book incorporates its discussions in eight chapters. Chapter one presents the basics of biological and genetic DNA by explaining chromosome structure, genes, and the human genome. Second chapter deals with the mitochondria. Third chapter discusses the genetic diseases. It explains that such diseases are caused by genetic factors as a result of chromosomal abnormalities or defects in the synthetic construction of genes. Chapter four deals with the principles of DNA fingerprints. Focus is laid on the issue of identity and the relationship of issues related to parenting and affinity. Chapter five reviews the DNA analysis in the service of forensic science through the extraction of DNA from blood, hair, cigarette butts, and other biological effects. Chapter six deals with DNA databases and their importance. In Chapter seven, the study reviews DNA fingerprint applications and explains their importance in resolving the dilemma erupting at the ambiguity of a host of criminal cases. Chapter eight discusses the assessment of the DNA evidence in forensic medicine. Arab Republic of Egypt is opted as case study. Recurrence mechanisms rates at each hereditary sites were calculated. This was based in the results of genetic fingerprints. Later values of the likelihood congruence and symmetry rations of each hereditary imprint were estimated. At the end, the control strength of specific genetic were determined.
