Summary
This course introduces students to the forensic DNA analysis as the dominant method of determining the origin of biological material. It describes biological principles on which the field is based, application circuits (criminology, kinship analysis, identification analysis, bioarcheology, recreational genetics), principles of analysis from the collection of biological material to final evaluation. It brings an overview of non-ID analysis and includes the basics of forensic statistics in the field of genetic analysis.
Syllabus
1. Introduction to forensic genetics, forensic genetics history, relationship to forensic biology and serology
2.Collection of biological traces and extraction of DNA from forensic samples
3.charakterization of DNA - DNA quantification, determination of quality and species specificity
4.Individuality as a complex concept, the principles of personal identification
5.Repetitive sequences of the human genome, STR markers
6.Methods of analysis on STR markers, the genetic profile analysis of composite samples
7.Forensic analysis of gonozomal markers and mitochondrial DNA
8.Population forensic genetics, forensic statistics
9.Non-human typing - forensic analysis of fauna and flora, forensic microbiology
10.Prediction of phenotype via DNA analysis and "non-ID" forensic DNA analysis
11.Forensic genetics laboratory, DNA databasing
12.Genogeography, genogenealogy, paleogenetics and biomolecular archaeology
13.Quality in the laboratory
14.Genetics as part of the forensic and investigative sciences and the Czech legal system
