Abstract excerpt
This study was designed to analyze the effects of sunlight, various contaminants (those found typically in forensic samples) and the electrophoresis of varying quantities of DNA on the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns produced from DNA isolated from blood and semen stains. The DNA RFLP patterns were obtained following Hae III restriction enzyme digestion, low electroendosmotic (LE) agarose...
