Evaluation of the human hair root for DNA typing subsequent to microscopic comparison.

Journal of forensic sciences - 1 Mar 1998

Linch C A, Smith S L, Prahlow J A

Abstract excerpt

Telogen human hairs are one of the most common useful evidence findings at crime scenes and/or on homicide victims. Occasionally, the microscopic characterization of the found telogen hair is the only physical evidence association to a victim or suspect. Recently efforts to characterize these hairs by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) methods have progressed. The nature of the telogen hair root morphology and...
