5. Presentation of DNA Analysis
 3 steps :
1. Detection of biological material
2. Analysis of genetic material
3. DNA Identification
Who does the DNA belong to?

6.  today
• Crimelite : Detection of biological fluids
(semen, saliva, sweat) through a chemical
reaction
1. Detection of the biological material
 30 years ago…
Normal View Crimelite View

7. Where?
1. Detection of the biological material
Blood
Saliva
Semen
Hairs Bones
Human Tissue
What kind of cells ?
Cell
DNA

8. Nuclear DNA Analysis: 16-24 STRs
Crimes, sexual assaults, robberies, etc.
Absolute Identification
Mitochondrial DNA Analysis:
Rootless hair, degraded human tissues, or very few quantity of biological material
Maternal lineage Identification
Y Chromosome Analysis:
Paternity test without the father
Paternal lineage Identification
