Edited by Hirak Ranjan Dash and published by Academic Press, Investigative and Predictive DNA Testing, 1st Edition, addresses the technical shift toward predictive genetic workflows in forensic science. Created for graduate students, post-graduate students, and academic researchers, this reference volume provides structured guidance across foundational concepts and emerging molecular methodologies.
The content develops through key analytical methods in forensic genetics. It outlines autosomal short tandem repeat profiling, mitochondrial DNA evaluation, and the use of rapidly mutating Y-short tandem repeats. Furthermore, the text details how genetic testing generates investigative leads regarding ancestry, lineage, and phenotypic traits, while extending coverage to specialized disciplines such as wildlife forensics, forensic botany, and archaeological genetics.
To connect theoretical models with practical outcomes, the volume integrates real case studies paired with real-time images across its technical chapters. This visual and practical framework helps graduate scholars and researchers evaluate how specialized DNA testing methods operate within actual investigative environments.
