Forensic examiners must determine whether both latent fingerprint development and DNA profiling can be performed on the same area of an evidence item and, if only one is possible, which examination offers the best chance for identification. Latent fingerprints can be enhanced by targeting different components of fingerprint residues with sequential chemical treatments. This study investigated the effects of single-reagent and sequential latent fingerprint development processes on downstream DNA analysis to determine the point at which latent fingerprint development should be stopped to allow for DNA recovery. Latent fingerprints deposited on copy paper by one donor were developed using three sequential processes: 1,8-diazafluoren-9-one (DFO) → ninhydrin → physical developer (PD); 1,2-indanedione-zinc (IND-Zn) → ninhydrin → PD; and IND-Zn → ninhydrin → Oil Red O (ORO) → PD. Samples were examined after the addition of each chemical treatment. DNA was collected with cotton swabs, extracted, quantified, and amplified. DNA yields, peak heights, number of alleles obtained, and percentage of DNA profiles eligible for CODIS upload were examined. DNA profiles were obtained with varying degrees of success, depending on the number and type of treatments used for latent fingerprint development. The treatments that were found to be the least harmful to downstream DNA analysis were IND-Zn and IND-Zn/laser, and the most detrimental treatments were DFO, DFO/laser, and PD. In general, as the number of treatments increase, the opportunities for DNA loss or damage also increase, and it is preferable to use fewer treatments when developing latent fingerprints prior to downstream DNA processing. 相似文献

Hyperpolymorphic short tandem repetitive DNA sequences, STRs or microsatellites, have become widely used in human identification, particularly in criminal cases and in mass disasters. In such cases the substrates for the analyses may be decomposed as a biological material, a fact that has to be taken into account when choosing the appropriate casework methods. Nowadays expanded windows have been opened to the world especially in the area of genetic and biology science by performance of big projects such as human genome project. In this regard, one of the primary and important steps for all is DNA extraction with high quality and quantity in minimum time from biological material. By using RGDE method, genomic DNA with high quality and quantity can be acquired in the shortest time which has been presented in the world up to now. In this paper we report the evaluation of DNA extraction in this method. 相似文献

Calcified tissues, such as bone and tooth, and some other sample types, such as those containing adhesive, present a challenge to standard extraction protocols. We have developed a lysis reagent, BTA™ lysis buffer, which is designed for use with PrepFiler™ Kit reagents. The BTA™ lysis buffer disrupts calcified tissue matrices and achieves effective extraction of DNA from pulverized bone and tooth samples. In addition, the BTA™ lysis buffer mildly but efficiently extracts DNA from challenging substrates like tape, chewing gum, and cigarette butts and, as with bone and tooth, DNA from these lysates is purified using established PrepFiler™ reagent extraction protocols.We successfully extracted DNA from powdered human bone samples, chewed gum and smoked cigarettes using BTA™ lysis buffer. Extraction yields for bone, gum and cigarette samples tested were consistent and reproducible. This extraction method efficiently removed potential PCR inhibitors from all samples tested, and CT values for the internal PCR control of Quantifiler® Human DNA Quantification Kit were consistent and within the normal range. The DNA extracted from these samples also provided conclusive profiles that were free of PCR artifacts when amplified using the AmpF?STR® Identifiler® PCR Amplification Kit. The protocol is easily adapted for automation. 相似文献

The aim of this study is to evaluate the actual use of serological/DNA analyses in the investigations carried out on adult sexual violence victims in Italy during the years 2006–2015.The victims were assisted in the largest Italian rape center, in Milan (Soccorso Violenza Sessuale e Domestica – SVSeD - Service for Sexual and Domestic Violence).The total number of sexual violence victims examined during the years 2006–2015 (adults and minors) was 3521, in 1697 of cases, biological evidence had been collected, while the number of adult victims (>18 y.o.) examined was 2300, in 1211 of cases biological evidence had been collected.Biological evidence was collected from the victims’ bodies using two swabs in five anogenital areas (labia maiora, labia minora, perineum, perianal and anal/rectum regions) and two swabs in all other skin areas suggested by the victims as areas of possible contact (double swab technique). Clothes were also collected on a case by case basis for the search of biological stains. Despite the proper collection, handling and chain of custody for all the swabs/items collected, serological/DNA analyses were requested in 86 cases out of 1211 only (710%). This percentage dropped to 190% when considering adolescent victims (13–19 y.o.).The reason why Italian Magistrates make little use of the powerful tool of DNA analyses in sexual assault cases, still remains unclear. Legal and procedural aspects are therefore also discussed. 相似文献

The aim of our study was to monitor the quality and quantity of DNA in bone samples that were boiled for 48 h. Bos taurus bone disks were sampled every hour for 48 h. The subsequent DNA analysis used multiple mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) targets (100–700 bp) to evaluate the quality and quantity of the DNA extracted. The DNA extracted from bone disks remained typeable after boiling for 48 h. We have proven that DNA typing results can be obtained even after long-term boiling. 相似文献

This study investigates the connection between the results of DNA quantification with Quantifiler Human DNA Quantification Kit (AB) and DNA profiling. For this purpose the DNA concentration of 3.068 routine casework samples was determined and DNA profiling was carried out. For discussion, depending on the specific DNA concentration, the samples were divided into four groups (0–5, 5–10, 10–30 and more then 30 pg/μl DNA) and the obtained number of full or partial profiles and the negative typing results was listed. Moreover group 1 (0–5 pg/μl DNA) results were subdivided and analysed more precisely. Based on the amount of 4% positive typing results in group 1 we decided to analyse every sample with quantification results >0 pg/μl DNA. A real cut-off no longer exists. Only samples showing 0 pg/μl on each result were sorted out. 相似文献

High levels of non-authentic sequence data can be generated by traditional PCR-based methodologies when DNA is damaged, template numbers are small and/or the target amplification size too large. We therefore present an alternate methodology based on single primer extension (SPEX) amplification; that places no pre-defined size constraints on amplification and interacts with only one of the DNA strands at the target locus. 相似文献

Abstract: Guanaco (Lama guanicoe) is a protected and widely distributed ungulate in South America. A poacher, after killing guanacos in Valle Chacabuco, Chilean Patagonia, transported and stored the meat. Samples were retrieved by local police but the suspect argued that the meat was from a horse. Mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (774 pb), 15 loci microsatellites, and SRY gene were used to identify the species, number of animals and their population origin, and the sex of the animals, respectively. Analysis revealed that the samples came from a female (absence of SRY gene) Patagonian guanaco (assignment probability between 0.0075 and 0.0282), and clearly distinguishing it from sympatric ungulates (E‐value = 0). Based on the evidence obtained in the field in addition to forensic data, the suspect was convicted of poaching and illegally carrying fire arms. This is the first report of molecular tools being used in forensic investigations of Chilean wildlife indicating its promising future application in guanaco management and conservation. 相似文献

Y-STR markers are a valuable tool in the analysis of biological traces in which a mixture of male and female trace material is to be expected. It is possible to generate a Y-chromosome DNA profile, even if all the prior sperm tests are negative and no sign of any male component is found in amelogenin. In 38 of a total of 239 sexual offences a perpetrator trace was identified solely using Y-STR analysis. Based on these findings, the Austrian National DNA Database was expanded to include Y-STRs in 2012 with the primary objective to identify serial sexual offences. 相似文献

Blowflies leave deposits, termed artefacts, through the processes of excretion and regurgitation. To date, little consideration has been given to the possibility of adult blowflies consuming biological material and subsequently acting as vectors of human DNA through these artefacts. In this study, Lucilia cuprina (Meigen) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) were fed either human blood or human semen ad libitum and their artefacts were analysed for human DNA content. Samples containing 1, 10, 30 and 50 artefacts were tested. Quantifiable and typeable levels of human DNA were found in samples derived from both food sources, and even in samples containing a single artefact. Semen-derived artefacts contained significantly more human DNA than artefacts produced after a blood meal. Consequently a smaller number of artefacts was required to collect sufficient DNA for genotyping. These findings are forensically important as it provides investigators with another potential source of DNA at a crime scene where a body has been moved, or an attempt has been made to clean up biological material. They also highlight how fly artefacts could potentially contaminate and compromise evidence. 相似文献

Abstract: Automated platforms used for forensic casework sample DNA extraction need to be versatile to accommodate a wide variety of sample types, thus protocols frequently need modification. In this study, DNA IQ? methods previously developed for the Biomek® 2000 Automation Workstation were adapted for the Teleshake Unit using normal volumes and all deepwell extraction, and a large volume DNA IQ? method developed. DNA purification without detectable contamination of adjacent reagent blanks is reported in the extraction of tissue samples containing several micrograms of DNA. Sensitivity and contamination studies demonstrated similar performance with the manual organic extraction method for bloodstain dilution samples. Mock casework samples demonstrated the effectiveness of the Teleshake and Teleshake large volume methods. Because of the performance and increased versatility of the DNA IQ? extraction with these modifications, the Teleshake Unit has been implemented in both normal and large volume automated DNA extractions at the Virginia Department of Forensic Science. 相似文献

Between 1990 and 2018, the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency submitted 2177 cranial elements and 1565 teeth to the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System—Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory for DNA testing. In an effort to identify missing United States service members, materials were recovered from wartime losses inclusive of World War II, the Korean War, and Southeast Asia. Using four different DNA extraction protocols, DNA testing was performed using mitochondrial DNA Sanger sequencing, modified AmpFlSTR® Yfiler?, AmpFlSTR® MiniFiler?, PowerPlex® Fusion, or Next Generation Sequencing. This paper aims to provide optimal strategies for the DNA testing of skeletonized cranial materials. Cranial elements produced the most consistent results in Sanger sequencing using an organic purification; however, teeth were most successful for the same platform with an inorganic purification. The inverse is true for STR testing of cranial bones. Of the cranial elements, the temporal provided the most consistent results. 相似文献

A continual challenge in the field of forensic DNA analysis is the amplification and interpretation of degraded and low-copy number (LCN) DNA obtained from amounts of limited biological evidence. It has been well established that DNA profiles obtained from the amplification of low quality, degraded, and/or LCN DNA samples are often of limited value due to the frequent occurrence of preferential amplification during polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The by-products of preferential PCR amplification are often observed as inter- and intra-locus peak imbalance, allelic dropout, and/or locus dropout. These are all artifacts that are identified during the interpretation phase of analysis rather than by improving the quality of the DNA present. While it is theoretically possible to obtain a complete DNA profile from a single cell, in reality, profiles obtained from suboptimal amounts of DNA are difficult to interpret and frequently inconsistent when replicated. Inspired by advances in next-generation sequencing techniques, we propose a methodology for simultaneously normalizing the abundance of PCR products across all short tandem repeat (STR) loci using the DNA exonuclease, duplex-specific nuclease (DSN). DSN is an enzyme isolated from the hepatopancreas of Red King (Kamchatka) crab that possesses a strong affinity for digesting double stranded DNA (dsDNA) and has limited activity toward single stranded DNA (ssDNA). Degraded DNA known to display peak imbalance and allele dropout was amplified using AmpFlSTR® Identifiler® Plus for 28 cycles. Following amplification, samples were denatured at 99.9 °C for 5 min and incubated with one unit of DSN at 62 °C in a 28 μl volume for 1 min. Nuclease activity was terminated through the addition of equal volume of 10 mM EDTA and 95 °C incubation for 2 min. Following DSN treatment, 21 of 30 alleles within the known profile exhibited some improvement in peak height balance. The findings obtained support the potential use of DSN treatment as a method for normalizing STR profiles and improving the quality of data from degraded and low quantity DNA samples. 相似文献
