2. Forensic DNA analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forensic_DNA_analysis

   Short tandem repeat (STR) analysis is the primary type of forensic DNA analysis performed in modern DNA laboratories. STR analysis builds upon RFLP and AmpFLP used in the past by shrinking the size of the repeat units, to 2 to 6 base pairs, and by combining multiple different loci into one PCR reaction.

3. DNA profiling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_profiling

   Before modern PCR methods existed, it was almost impossible to analyze degraded DNA samples. Methods like Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), which was the first technique used for DNA analysis in forensic science, required high molecular weight DNA in the sample in order to get reliable data. High molecular weight DNA, however, is ...

   Identifying unknown subjects through investigative genetic genealogy is done through the use of analysis of identity-by-descent (IBD) segments of DNA that indicate shared ancestors. [5] Data available in GEDMatch, which is composed of genetic profiles from approximately 1.2 million individuals, has proven capable of identifying a third cousin ...

7. Forensic science - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forensic_science

   Forensic DNA analysis takes advantage of the uniqueness of an individual's DNA to answer forensic questions such as paternity/maternity testing and placing a suspect at a crime scene, e.g. in a rape investigation. Forensic engineering is the scientific examination and analysis of structures and products relating to their failure or cause of damage.
