Read MoreShort tandem repeat (STR) locus HUMD8S306 in a large population sample from Germany
Applied DNA typing in medico-legal investigations, in criminalistic practice, and in paternity cases often relies on high inclusion and exclusion probabilities.
Read MoreDetection and quantification of Proporxur in the succession of insects of medico-legal importance
To detect and quantify the amount of Propoxur in insects of forensic importance and search for entomotoxicologic indicators, the HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) technique was used on individuals collected during the ecological succession associated with the corpses of rabbits.
Read MoreSix forensic entomology cases: description and commentary
Several cases are reported which show that a wide range of applications in medico-legal questions and hygiene together or apart from estimating the PMI can be answered by use of Forensic Entomology techniques including close observation of larval development.
Read MoreNeglect of the elderly: forensic entomology cases and considerations
Wounds of living persons are a potential target for the same flies that live, or feed early on corpses. This can lead to complications in estimation of PMI but also allows to determine additional information that might be valuable in a trial, or during the investigations.
Read MoreFive cases of forensic short tandem repeat DNA typing
In medicolegal samples DNA is often broken into fragments. In many cases, only the amplification of short tandem repeated DNA stretches (STRs), which are located in noncoding regions, allows DNA typing of such degraded materials
