pollen genetics

1.  To aid us understand better how pollen
genetics can be helpful in forensic
palynology.
 To show the steps involved in extraction
of pollen DNA.

2.  What is pollen?
 What is genetics?
 What is forensic palynology?

4.  Need for high level of specialization by
expert palynologists
 Slow speeds of identification and relatively
poor taxonomic resolution

5.  Pollen is an ideal biomarker for linking
people and objects to particular places and
time. Therefore, identifying pollen
meticulously under the microscope aids in
producing faster results when applied in
forensic palynology.
 A limitations of forensic palynology (Need
for high level of specialization) has made
forensic palynology underutilized but
recently, identification of pollen using
genetics (DNA barcoding, metabarcoding
