Forensic Biology: Identification and DNA Analysis of Biological Evidence
I feel this book gives very good insight and coverage of a range of topics from forensic serology (which is still being done in some labs) to current forensic biology applications with STR, mitochondrial, and Y-STR analysis.—Pamela Dixon, writing inCanadian Society of Forensic Science JournalEducators in this area will find the content succinct enough to be accomplished within a semester while introducing undergraduate students to the tools and vocabulary required to undertake more challenging material. … The reader need not have a background in biology to understand the basis for the procedures and techniques as each are described in detail with ample visual aids. Indeed, there are figures or photographs on most pages to guide the reader.—Lori E. Baker, Ph.D., Baylor University, Waco, Texas, writing inJournal of Forensic Sciences
