• Focuses on human identification using traditional DNA typing methods targeting short tandem repeats (STRs)
• Applies the technology and usage to law enforcement investigations and identity and ancestry single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for investigational leads, mass disaster, and ancestry cases
• Introduces the underlying principles of NGS, focusing forensic application and the introduction of NGS into forensic labs in the coming years
