Abstract
Is human DNA enough?—potential for bacterial DNA
Highlights
Since the 1980’s, there has been a considerable increase in the capacity of human DNA analyses to contribute to the process of individualization
The first two exploit nuclear DNA so are subject to the same constraints as standard DNA typing. mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is found in much higher quantities than nuclear DNA and is well adapted for analyzing degraded DNA
This will be accompanied by challenges in interpretation, such as the combination of evidence, which represents a field that should receive further attention (Juchli et al, 2012)
Summary
Since the 1980’s, there has been a considerable increase in the capacity of human DNA analyses to contribute to the process of individualization. The second, a new method of visualization based on fluorescent labeling which when combined with PCR increased the sensitivity of the technique enabling low quantities of DNA to be analyzed (Frégeau and Fourney, 1993). Fierer et al (2010) investigated the use of bacteria for human identification concentrating on the potential of analyzing skin bacterial communities.
