Current forensic ancestry-informative panels are limited in their ability to differentiate populations the Asia-Pacific region. MAPlex (Multiplex for Asia-Pacific), a massively parallel sequencing (MPS) assay, was developed improve differentiation of East Asian, South Asian and Near Oceanian found extensive cross-continental region that shows complex patterns admixture at its margins. This study reports development MAPlex; selection SNPs combination with microhaplotype markers; assay design...
The compound 1,2-indanedione was recently introduced in our laboratory as an operational reagent for developing latent fingerprints on porous surfaces. As part of the implementation, a study carried out order to determine whether either two 1,2-indanediones formulations interferes with further DNA profiling. Both are based HFE7100 solvent. One is acidic and other neutral. In controlled experiment, known donors attached stamps envelopes by licking them. stamped were initially treated one...
DNA extracted from fingernail clippings of victims in forensic cases is a possible source the perpetrator where struggled or defended themselves. The this on victim's fingernails could possibly originate contact with suspect's blood, saliva, semen scratched skin. In technical note we evaluate relevance routine typing biology laboratory when, real casework, normally only small quantities nail material sent. This was carried out by extracting number volunteers, before and after aggressively...
Two cases of threatening letters with their accompanying envelopes were received to the Division Forensic Identification unit Israel Police. The envelopes, including stamps, and initially examined for latent fingerprints by DFO reagent, known cause degradation DNA. Although no could be visualized on any items, biology laboratory using organic DNA extraction, was successful in defining genetic profiles from all items employing six STR loci, even after treatment DFO. In a controlled...
Autosomal short tandem repeat (STR) analysis has become highly relevant in the identification of victims from mass disasters and terrorist attacks. In such events, gender misidentification can be grave consequences, yet list reporting amelogenin amplification failure using STR multiplex kits continues to grow. Presented here are three examples. first case, we present two male suspects who demonstrated Y-deficient results commercial kit procedures. The presence their Y chromosomes was proven...
The Israel police forensic biology laboratory received as an item of evidence in attempted murder case, a pair trousers belonging to suspect. A bloodstain was observed on the and analyzed by STR typing for nine loci using Promega GenePrint silver stain detection kits. genetic profile defined found be identical that victim's at all loci. Within this three-banded allele pattern D16S539 locus, both reference blood sample. Confirmation phenomenon accomplished amplifying extracted DNA from sample...
During the course of a double murder trial, it became apparent that two adhesive lifters from cadavers had been mislabeled before being presented in court. The question was raised whether DNA testing biological material remaining attached to could resolve this mix-up. In fatal shooting cases where bullet has fired through body surface, an lifter is applied directly entrance wound. total nitrite residues, as well surrounding wound (blood, hair, tissue) are transferred lifter. residues used...
Abstract Blood‐contaminated fingermarks (FMs) found in violent crime scenes may directly connect the suspect to by linking FM and DNA from blood victim. However, marks that are incomparable considered “dead‐evidence” as link is lost. In this study, a novel approach was attempted uncover trace amount of touch such marks. We examined effect two enhancement methods, ninhydrin (NIN) amido black (AB), on recovery blood‐contaminated FMs. A total 108 fingerprints were deposited three sets depleted...
This case report demonstrates a rape case, where no semen, hair, or fingerprints were left by the perpetrator at crime scene, but rather uncharacteristic biological and physical evidence in form of lollipop pair glasses. Three separate forensic laboratories collaborated using conventional methods PCR DNA typing, photography, toolmark comparisons to provide investigators with scientific which turn was instrumental bringing violent criminal justice. The importance evaluating each item...
Abstract European forensic laboratories are replacing the STR multiplex kits with new generation 16/17 kits. This study examines influence of and Applied Biosystems 3500xL Genetic Analyzer on designation long D2S1338 D19S433 off‐ladder alleles. Different allele calls were obtained using NGM ™ (Applied Biosystems) PowerPlex ® ESI (Promega) compared AmpFℓ SGM Plus™ kit Biosystems). Sequence analysis was used to determine accurate designation. The improved accuracy designations. DNA databases...
Presented is a case report of violent sexual assault where the DNA profile obtained from an item evidence was compared to suspect's profile. The profiles did not match, but sharing such large number alleles raised suspicion that perhaps real perpetrator blood relative suspect. investigators requested sample brother, and match defined. In era technological breakthroughs in field forensic analysis, importance scientist's attention presented each stressed.
