The must have DNA Evidence book, April 10, 2006
This review is from: Forensic DNA Evidence Interpretation (Hardcover)
If you can only buy one book about DNA evidence interpretation then get this one. The vast range of DNA topics this book covers is incredible. As well as giving the theory behind calculations it gives philosophies behind various schools of thought.
An example of the wide range of topics includes sections on Electropherogram artefacts, DNA mixture interpretations, Low Copy Number theory and DNA database validation (an excellent chapter which I found extremely interesting).
This book can also direct you a huge number of other sources, with around 800 references, and the referencing throughout the book is thorough and helpful.
The book is written in an easy conversational tone and has helpful 'boxes' throughout which work through difficult concepts. I can't think of anything I would change about this book. I just think it really is an excellent up to date, thorough account of DNA evidence interpretation.
