An evaluation of the polymerase chain reaction method for forensic applications.

Forensic science international - 1 Apr 1990

Westwood S A, Werrett D J

Abstract excerpt

This paper describes the use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for amplifying small amounts of DNA obtained from samples of interest to the forensic scientist. A region of the HLA DQalpha (DQa) locus was amplified in DNA prepared from the following: hair roots, liquid blood, blood-stains, semen and vaginal swabs (semen free and semen contaminated). A population study was conducted using DNA from 78 unrelated...
