Abstract excerpt

Genetic profiles were successfully obtained from hair samples both directly plucked from the scalp and indirectly from personal items such as combs and hairbrushes. Additionally, 100 genetic profiles were generated from buccal swabs from all donors, allowing the calculation of population allele and genotype frequencies. Complete genetic profiles were recovered from samples containing less than 0.012 ng of total...
