The book outlines forensic genetics tools that are available for the identification of skeletal remains in contemporary casework and historical\/archaeological investigations. Although the book focuses primarily on the use of DNA for direct identification or kinship analyses, it also highlights complementary disciplines often used in concert with genetic data to make positive identifications, such as forensic anthropology, forensic odontology, and forensic art\/sculpting. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnidentified human remains are often associated with tragic events, such as fires, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, war conflicts, genocide, airline crashes, homicide, and human rights violations under oppressive totalitarian regimes. In these situations, extensive damage to soft tissues often precludes the use of such biological samples in the identification process. In contrast, bone material is the most resilient, viable sample type for DNA testing. DNA recovered from bone often is degraded and in low quantities due to the effects of human decomposition, environmental exposure, and the passage of time. The complexities of bone microstructure and its rigid nature make skeletal remains one of the most challenging sample types for DNA testing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Angie Ambers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0128157666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780128157664\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Academic Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.29h x 7.48w x 1.10d","brand":"Angie Ambers","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44076416499967,"sku":"9780128157664","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93301981-62c6-4256-aa15-8ce8e77cd7dc.jpg?v=1685464872","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/forensic-genetic-approaches-for-identification-angie-ambers-9780128157664","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
