Quantitative Pcr And Sanger Sequencing Of Mitochondrial Dna Recovered From Waterlogged Bone, Kailey Babcock
Quantitative Pcr And Sanger Sequencing Of Mitochondrial Dna Recovered From Waterlogged Bone, Kailey Babcock
Theses and Dissertations
In forensic contexts, samples containing heavily fragmented DNA are commonly encountered. Compromised biological samples are especially prevalent in instances where human remains have been submerged in an aqueous environment for extended periods of time. Nuclear DNA is particularly vulnerable to the prolonged exposure to heat, moisture, and bacterial degradation that are prevalent in aquatic settings. Paired with the difficulty of recovering DNA from skeletal remains, which are often the only remaining component after the soft tissues have been stripped away, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analysis serves as an invaluable alternative. In this multifaceted study, mtDNA analysis was performed on waterlogged bone …
