DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is a molecule composed of two chains that coil around each other to form a double helixcarrying the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning, and reproduction of all known livingorganisms and many viruses. DNA and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are nucleic acids; alongside proteins, lipids and complexcarbohydrates (polysaccharides), nucleic acids are one of the four major types of macromolecules that are essential for allknown forms of life. The book emphasizes the interpretation of test results and provides the necessary formulae in an easilyaccessible manner. The book provides information on every aspect of DNA analysis, including modern interpretationmethods and issues, and contemporary population genetic models available for estimating DNA frequencies or likelihoodratios. The book contains numerous tables and illustrations. This book provides a link among the biological, forensic, andinterpretative domains of the DNA profiling field. Language of the book is lucid. It is a valuable resource that allows forensicscientists and technicians, molecular biologists, and attorneys to use forensic DNA evidence to its greatest potential.
