  1. Human Identity Testing Purpose: Match a person to a DNA sample. Examples: • Paternity Test • Genetic History • Historical (Thomas Jefferson, Sally Hemings) • Genealogical • Forensic • Missing Persons • Identifying body parts

  2. Forensic DNA Source: Any biological material containing cells Examples: • Blood • Hair (must have root) • Bone / teeth • Saliva • Urine • Semen • Vaginal secretions • Futuristic: discarded epidermal cells

  3. CODIS(Combined DNA Index System) Purpose: Allow participating laboratories to exchangeand compare profiles at a national level in electronic form. Factoids: • 1990: pilot launched by FBI • 1994: DNA Identification Act passed (authorized FBI to implement a national forensic data base) • 1998: became operational • 2000: added missing persons

  9. AMEL(amelogenin locus) • quick, inexpensive sex determination • AMEL gene on X chromosome has 6 fewer base pairs than the gene on the Y chromosome • XX give one “short” peak • XY give two peaks, one “short” and one “long”
