The Emergence of SNPs in Genetic Medicine Name: Simpson Chan Student # 992452458 TA Name: Rahul Tutorial: L0101 B, Tues 1-4 Forensic DNA and Ancient DNA Since the discovery of techniques that allow for DNA analysis and sequencing, not only did it impact the field of genomics, but it also stimulated other fields of applications. (Capelli et al, 2003). Two unconventional and ways of applying these techniques, ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis and forensic DNA profiling (Capelli et al, 2003), are branches of this discovery that intertwine in respect to their methodologies and approaches. In this commentary, I will attempt to analyze the criteria of authentication, the different aspects of the purpose of DNA analysis, and the problems regarding contamination of the two unconventional applications of DNA analysis. DNA analysis has become an effective procedure in forensic genetics. Prior to 1985, the methods of analyzing biological samples were limited to only conventional...
