Book Description

Publication Date: July 15, 1998 | ISBN-10: 0878931554 | ISBN-13: 978-0878931552 | Edition: 1st

The use of DNA profiling has had a profound effect on paternity testing, forensic science, remains identification, varietal protection and evolutionary studies. But a proper interpretation of DNA profile matches depends on the use of statistical weights. Interpreting DNA Evidence provides the necessary background in statistics and genetics to arrive at these weights, so that the results can be expressed in a form appropriate to a court of law. Forensic scientists, plant and animal breeders, population geneticists, statisticians, lawyers and students with some idea of the use of DNA profiling will find this book immensely useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars how to interpret forensic DNA results, February 7, 2001

jiri drabek (Olomouc, Czech Republic) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Interpreting DNA Evidence: Statistical Genetics for Forensic Scientists (Paperback)

In depth view into the interpretation of DNA data for both paternity testing and criminalistic samples typing. Tells how to combine pieces of evidence in different situations using Bayes theorem. To my knowledge the only book of this kind (book of Robertson and Vignaux is not so DNA-centric). Written by the very experts, with samples and control questions after each chapter. Mitochondrial DNA data interpretation is not included.
