Long an important and useful tool in forensic genetic investigations, mitochondrial DNA
(mtDNA) ty** continues to mature. Research in the last few years has demonstrated both …

Nuclear mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) segments (NUMTs) were discovered shortly after
sequencing the first human mitochondrial genome. They have earlier been considered to …

The transfer of mitochondrial genetic material into the nuclear genomes of eukaryotes is a
well-established phenomenon that has been previously limited to the study of static …

Designed as an accessible introduction to basic scientific principles and their application in
professional practice, Forensic Biology provides a concise overview of the field. Focusing …

Though shed hairs are one of the most commonly encountered evidence types, they are
among the most limited in terms of DNA quantity and quality. As a result, DNA testing has …

Though investigations into the use of massively parallel sequencing technologies for the
generation of complete mitochondrial genome (mtGenome) profiles from difficult forensic …

The transfer of mitochondrial DNA into the nuclear genomes of eukaryotes (Numts) has
been linked to lifespan in nonhuman species and recently demonstrated to occur in rare …

Nuclear mitochondrial DNA segments (NUMTs) are generated via transfer of portions of the
mitochondrial genome into the nuclear genome. Given their common origin, there is the …

Abstract The emergence of Massively Parallel Sequencing technologies enabled the
analysis of full mitochondrial (mt) DNA sequences from forensically relevant samples that …
