Implication

Review describes DNA profiling and bioinformatics databases for human identification in forensic casework, highlighting their role in matching degraded genetic samples.

Key Points

DNA profiling establishes human identification in forensic investigations lacking ante-mortem data, utilizing unique repetitive sequences across individual genomes.
Short tandem repeats analyzed via pcr amplification serve as the primary genetic markers, allowing forensic evaluation of severely degraded DNA specimens.
Bioinformatics databases compare profiles using markers like amelogenin and mtdna, predicting genetic similarities to resolve criminal and disaster cases.
