1. Mitochondrial Genome Analysis Using Next Generation Sequencing for Forensic Applications
Abstract : Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis plays a specialized role in forensic applications, overcoming certain limitations of autosomal DNA markers. The high copy number and uniparental inheritance pattern of mtDNA are advantageous in cases involving shed hairs and aged skeletal elements, especially decades-old missing persons cases. READ MORE

2. Sensitive Forensic DNA Analysis : Application of Pyrosequencing and Real-time PCR Quantification
Abstract : The field of forensic genetics is growing fast and the development and optimisation of more sensitive, faster and more discriminating forensic DNA analysis methods is highly important. In this thesis, an evaluation of the use of novel DNA technologies and the development of specific applications for use in forensic casework investigations are presented. READ MORE

3. Gamma Spectrometric Measurements Of Nuclear Material For Nuclear Forensic Purposes
Abstract : Nuclear forensics is a scientific discipline that aims to aid in criminal investigations concerning illicit use of nuclear and other radioactive material. The discipline aims to find signatures within the nuclear material that can help to find the attribution, or the origin and intended use of the seized material. READ MORE

4. METHOD DEVELOPMENT FOR SIGNATURES IN NUCLEAR MATERIAL FOR NUCLEAR FORENSIC PURPOSES
Abstract : Nuclear forensics is a scientific discipline where signatures in nuclear and other radioactive material are investigated and evaluated in order to aid in criminal investigations concerning these materials. Examples of signatures that may be useful is the age and isotopic composition of the nuclear material and trace elements in the material. READ MORE

5. Mitochondrial DNA in Sensitive Forensic Analysis
Abstract : Genetic profiling is commonly performed on the autosomes using multiple DNA markers. Although routine forensic DNA analysis is robust and based on reliable technologies, samples with degraded or limited amounts of DNA often fail. In these cases, the analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can be very valuable due to the high copy number per cell. READ MORE
