permanent teeth (“Amelogenesis Imperfecta”). The essential genes for normal tooth development which provide instructions for making proteins in the enamel are the AMELX, ENAM, and MMPO20 genes (Office of Rare Diseases Research). Proteins such as amelogenin, ameloblastin, and enamelin are critical for normal formation of the enamel (“Amelogenesis Imperfecta”). Enamel is the protective layer of tissue which protects the tooth from painful temperatures end chemicals (Office of Rare Diseases Research)

Sex determination by amplification of Amelogenin gene from dental pulp tissue by PCR Abstract Introduction: Forensic odontology necessarily involves the application of dentistry along with various other branches of sciences to resolve criminal cases with legal issues. Sex determination is a part of forensic odontology and an en essential priority when traditional identification of the deceased becomes impossible due to certain mishaps, including natural calamities, acts of war and terrorism or criminal

There is also a misconception that Dr. Ketchum processed all the samples in her facility. This is not true. Dr. Ketchum realized with the groundbreaking implications of this study blind testing was a must. She contracted the services of the following laboratories to perform blind testing on the samples and return the results. This means some of the laboratories had no idea what they were testing. The laboratories were given the samples and ask to run a DNA profile. The origin of the DNA samples was

1) define and explain the concept of Guided tissue regeneration(in detail) (GTR) According to the Glossary of Periodontal Terms 4th Edition, Guided tissue regeneration is defined as “Procedures attempting to regenerate lost periodontal structures through differential tissue response.” The concept of Guided tissue regeneration is centered on placing physical barriers to block the apical migration of the gingival connective tissue and epithelium cells of the flap, while allowing the inward migration

Forensic science has come a long way to solving crimes as they occur each day, from stealing, killings, burglary and kidnappings. People that commit these crimes need to be caught so that they pay the consequence for their actions. While catching a criminal is not an easy task, however some of the most effective ways to do so come from the effectiveness of DNA analysis. Forensic scientist play a vital role in helping catch criminals, using different devices so as DNA markers and DNA testing along

Forensic science is defined as science that pertains to law. Forensic science is used during investigations of a crime scene. Many forensic techniques are used during the investigation of crime scenes. These techniques are applied to what is considered to be trace evidence. Trace evidence is evidence left at the scene of the crime that helps tell the story of what had happened and could possibly lead to a suspect. The reliability of forensic evidence testing is a widely debated topic in the world

What are molecular markers? • DNA sequences that show polymorphisms (variations in size or sequence) in the population. They provide information about allelic variation at a given locus. Properties of molecular markers: 1. Polymorphic 2. Frequently distributed along the genome 3. Easily detected 4. Reproducible 5. Most are co-dominant but a few are dominant (RAPD) Common Molecular Markers: • RFLP: Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism • AFLP: Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism • RAPD:

This is my Case Study about Keith Henderson, the basic details of the case are as follows; he indecently assaulted a 16 year old girl while knocking her boyfriend to the ground causing him injuries. He then falsely imprisoned them both at gunpoint in a field and made the boy laydown while she performed sexual acts upon him. (http://www.bbc.co.uk) This case provides a great insight into how forensic science advances have caused more people to be convicted of their crimes. Crime scene investigators

The human genome is a vast sequence of nucleic acids consisting of adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine which are connected into a long polymer by a sugar-phosphate backbone. The entirety of the genome is approximately 3 billion base pairs which encodes for all functional proteins and RNA molecules needed for life. Remarkably, only a small fraction of the genome actually constitute genes; about 15% of the genome are genes or gene-related sequences, while 85% of the genome is noncoding (Krawczak
