Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The quantification of human DNA extracts from forensic samples plays a key role in the forensic genetics process. In real casework, a trace may not always contain human biological material, rather the biological traces at crime scenes may not be of human origin. Furthermore, the amount of DNA in a sample can vary between tens or hundreds of nanograms. Quantification guarantees maximum efficiency and avoids repeated analyses, overamplified samples or unnecessary examinations.
This Special Issue is dedicated to the classic and latest quantitative techniques, studying the status, role, and future of quantification in forensic genetics. We also look forward to receiving other related papers.
