Product description
Review
"There is perhaps no individual better suited to author a foundational survey of forensic DNA typing than John Butler. As with past editions, Butler’s knowledge, along with his organizational and communication skills make Fundamentals of Forensic DNA Typing a must read for students, forensic practitioners and trial attorneys. This text provides the reader with insightful and understandable explanations necessary to comprehend the underpinnings of forensic DNA analysis. It continues in the tradition of its predecessors as the premier textbook on the forensic DNA subject."
-- Richard Saferstein, Ph.D. Author and Forensic Science Consultant
"When ScienceWatch.com, a Thomson Reuters web resource for measuring and analyzing science trends, recently listed the most influential institutions and researchers in forensic science based on journal citations, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and one of its researchers, John Butler, were among the leaders."
-- ThomasNet.com
"Intended as the companion to the 2010 publication, Fundamentals of Forensic DNA Typing, this title contains 18 chapters with four appendices providing up-to-date coverage of essential topics in the field of DNA analysis. The book includes new information on DNA databases, low-level DNA, and validation; a comprehensive listing of alleles for the 23 STR loci present in commercial kits, and coverage of familial searching."

Eccellente la mia prima esperienza con e-book e kindle di amazon. Il testo è ben fatto e di facile lettura; il formato digitale, scaricato nell'istante del pagamento, quindi immediatamente disponibile, unito alle funzioni di kindle di traduzione immediata, evidenziatore e altre funzioni utili per lo studio, consentono uno studio veloce e comodo. Confermo la scelta del formato elettronico, anche per una scelta di sostenibilità

The book is easy to skim if you are reading in a hurry
Reviewed in Canada on 16 October 2015Verified Purchase
It has what you need to understand the subject matter. Those who already understand the basics of nucleic acids can skim or even skip the intro. The book is easy to skim if you are reading in a hurry.

Reviewed in the United States on 25 April 2013Verified Purchase
I needed some very concise and specialized information about binning strategies, and I did find it inside this book. In general from the reading of this book, I must say that almost anyone interested in the field should read it.
It is wonderful to be able to read one of those that have contributed so much to our area of work. And for those of us that haven't t got the chance to listen to Dr Butler lectures, it is very nice to read his opinions in the amenable and organized way he presents the whole issue.
Thanks Dr Butler!
I would like Kindle books to be more affordable
