✦ Synopsis

The first edition of Forensic DNA Typing, published in 2001, by John Butler quickly established itself as the gold-standard reference for the field. Over the next ten years, the vast amount of new information uncovered has resulted in this new volume, Advanced Topics in Forensic DNA Typing: Interpretation. This book builds upon the previous two editions of Forensic DNA Typing books, but with a focus on mixture interpretation and statistical analysis and is a companion to the bestselling Advanced Topics in Forensic DNA Typing: Methodology, published in September 2011.

Provides forensic DNA analysts coverage of the crucial topic of DNA mixture interpretation and statistical analysis of DNA evidence
Worked mixture examples illustrate the impact of different statistical approaches for reporting results
Includes allele frequencies for 24 commonly used autosomal STR loci, the revised Quality Assurance Standards which went into effect September 2011
