The propensity of individuals to deposit DNA and secondary transfer of low level DNA from individuals to inert surfaces.

Forensic science international - 10 Sept 2002

Lowe Alex, Murray Caroline, Whitaker Jonathan, Tully Gillian, Gill Peter

Abstract excerpt

We have shown that there is a difference between individuals in their tendency to deposit DNA on an item when it is touched. While a good DNA shedder may leave behind a full DNA profile immediately after hand washing, poor DNA shedders may only do so when their hands have not been washed for a period of 6h. We have also demonstrated that transfer of DNA from one individual (A) to another (B) and subsequently to...
