Identification using DNA from skin contact: case reports.

Legal medicine (Tokyo, Japan) - 1 Apr 2009

Tokutomi Tomoharu, Takada Yuzo, Kanetake Jun, Mukaida Masahiro

Abstract excerpt

The DNA content of different types of forensic materials can vary substantially. "Trace DNA" is the minute quantity of DNA transferred through skin contact. Here, we report three cases of identification of trace DNA using conventional short tandem repeat (STR) or mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). DNA was successfully obtained from fabrics by swabbing or by direct extraction and subjected to STR genotyping or mtDNA...
