The field of forensic DNA analysis has grown immensely in the past two decades and genotyping of biological samples is now routinely performed in human identification (HID) laboratories. Application areas include paternity testing, forensic casework, family lineage studies, identification of human remains, and DNA databasing. Forensic DNA Analysis: Current Practices and Emerging Technologies explores the fundamental principles and the application of technologies for each aspect of forensic DNA analysis. The book begins by discussing the value of DNA evidence and how to properly recognize, document, collect, and store it. The remaining chapters examine: The most widely adopted methods and the best practices for DNA isolation from forensic biological samples and human remainsStudies carried out on the use of both messenger RNA and small (micro) RNA profilingReal-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods for quantification and assessment of human DNA prior to genotypingCapillary electr

Jones spent his academic career researching and teaching the relationship between soil fertility and plant nutrition, mostly at the University of Georgia, and after retirement founded a soil and plant analysis company. Here he presents material equivalent to an advanced college course, that readers with a bit of background in agronomy or chemistry can apply to specific situations, and researchers can use as reference. He covers basic principles, physical and physiochemical characteristics of soil, plant elemental requirements and associated elements, methods of assessing soil fertility and plant nutrition, amendments for soil fertility, methods for producing plants without soil, and miscellaneous topics such as organic farming and best management practices.
