| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this study was to obtain an estimate of DNA recovery from forensic samples, such as a fingerprint and hair root. DNA from each sample was extracted, amplified, and analyzed on a 310 Genetic Analyzer. The amount of fluorescence in the X and/or Y products produced from unknown samples was compared to fluorescence in products amplified from known inputs of human DNA to create a standard curve. It was found that, depending on the set threshold, a higher percentage of males were found to be heavy shedders, and a higher percentage of females were found to be intermediate shedders. It was also found that the amount of DNA recovered from a pulled hair root supports the visual comparisons of root size ratings. | |
