About this product
Product Information
Forensic DNA Typing, Second Edition, is the only book available that specifically covers detailed information on mitochondrial DNA and the Y chromosome. It examines the science of current forensic DNA typing methods by focusing on the biology, technology, and genetic interpretation of short tandem repeat (STR) markers, which encompass the most common forensic DNA analysis methods used today. The book covers topics from introductory level right up to cutting edge research. High-profile cases are addressed throughout the text, near the sections dealing with the science or issues behind these cases. Ten new chapters have been added to accommodate the explosion of new information since the turn of the century. These additional chapters cover statistical genetic analysis of DNA data, an emerging field of interest to DNA research. Several chapters on statistical analysis of short tandem repeat (STR) typing data have been contributed by Dr. George Carmody, a well-respected professor in forensic genetics. Specific examples make the concepts of population genetics more understandable. This book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in forensic DNA analysis, forensic scientists, population geneticists, military and private and public forensic laboratories (for identifying individuals through remains), and students of forensic science.

"When they write the history of forensic science for our times, Forensic DNA Typing will be cited as the classic text on the subject.'--Richard Saferstein, Ph.D. ... the book is an exceptionally comprehensive reference, touching on every relevant aspect of current forensic DNA typing practice. - Journal of Forensic Sciences Apart from coverage, the book is well edited, attractively laid out, and makes productive use of its four-color format. - Journal of Forensic Sciences ... very good book, and will serve many practitioners and students of forensic DNA typing as a single source reference. - Journal of Forensic Sciences It is hard to think of a topic in forensic DNA typing that is not treated in the book. - Journal of Forensic Sciences "This is a volume which contains something of value to all forensic scientists.' -- Journal of Clinical Forensic Medicine "[One] that should be purchased rather than borrowed . . .it is an outstanding guide to the subject.' - Journal of Clinical Forensic Medicine ...up to date every few years, it has the potential to become the standard reference, perhaps something. - Journal of Forensic Sciences A final point is that the book is a phenomenal bargain in this day and age at around $80 a copy. - Journal of Forensic Sciences, "When they write the history of forensic science for our times, Forensic DNA Typing will be cited as the classic text on the subject."-Richard Saferstein, Ph.D. ... the book is an exceptionally comprehensive reference, touching on every relevant aspect of current forensic DNA typing practice. - Journal of Forensic Sciences Apart from coverage, the book is well edited, attractively laid out, and makes productive use of its four-color format. - Journal of Forensic Sciences . very good book, and will serve many practitioners and students of forensic DNA typing as a single source reference. - Journal of Forensic Sciences It is hard to think of a topic in forensic DNA typing that is not treated in the book. - Journal of Forensic Sciences "This is a volume which contains something of value to all forensic scientists." -- Journal of Clinical Forensic Medicine "[One] that should be purchased rather than borrowed . . .it is an outstanding guide to the subject." - Journal of Clinical Forensic Medicine .up to date every few years, it has the potential to become the standard reference, perhaps something. - Journal of Forensic Sciences A final point is that the book is a phenomenal bargain in this day and age at around $80 a copy. - Journal of Forensic Sciences, "When they write the history of forensic science for our times, Forensic DNA Typing will be cited as the classic text on the subject.

It is a 'must read' for scientists, lawyers, academics, students, police officers or anyone who wants to understand modern DNA testing and the ways in which it has transformed criminal justice systems in the United States and around the world."-Stephen Hogan, Esq., Instructor, Forensic Biology, SUNY-Albany; Faculty Member, DNA Forensics Program, American Prosecutors Research Institute ...it will be clear that the book is an exceptionally comprehensive reference, touching on every relevant aspect of current forensic DNA typing practice.

Abundant figures and tables help explain and enumerate basic concepts as needed. A feature that is found in several parts of the book that I found particularly appealing is the detailed sourcing of information. This is a very good book, and will serve many practitioners and students of forensic DNA typing as a single source reference. It could also serve as a text for a one semester graduate level course in forensic DNA typing and technology. It is hard to think of a topic in forensic DNA typing that is not treated in the book. Accordingly, it will be a sort of standard reference book in the area. If there are plans to keep the book up to date every few years, it has the potential to become the standard reference, perhaps something akin to Clarke in drugs and toxicology. A final point is that the book is a phenomenal bargain in this day and age at around $80 a copy. There are probably minor things about which one could quibble, but it doesn't seem productive to do so when the overall product is so good. - Journal of Forensic Sciences "Students, lecturers and laboratory workers will all welcome this new edition. At 660 pages it is double the size of the former edition and clearly contains a great deal of new material as well as having been re-arranged. Dr. Butler's book goes far beyond dealing just with high profile cases and mass disasters. He has taken the opportunity in the expanded volume to explain all aspects of DNA typing in greater detail and has produced a volume which is not only informative but high readable. It is as much a book to be enjoyed by the scientist as one to educate and inform. This is a volume which contains something of value to all forensic scientists. It does not talk down to the reader but serves as a balanced guide through the rapidly developing field of DNA studies. It is a book that should be purchased rather than borrowed or just referred to as it is an outstanding guide to the subject. - Journal of Clinical Forensic Medicine, When they write the history of forensic science for our times, Forensic DNA Typing will be cited as the classic text on the subject.
