## Abstract The reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide coenzyme Q reductase (complex I) activity has recently been shown to be deficient in the substantia nigra of patients dying with Parkinson's disease. This biochemical defect is identical to that produced by the neurotoxin 1βmethylβ4β

β¦ Synopsis
During 1993, significant advances have been achieved in applications of DNA analysis to forensic science, disease assessment, and animal/plant identification. These advances include the development of simple and high sample-throughput techniques for highly informative personal identification, rapid screening for pathogens and the development of polymorphic genetic markers in plants and animals.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedures that enable the faithful replication of millions of copies of a specific DNA sequence in vitro have been described and refined in recent years [I]. PCR techniques have been used in a variety of genetic and clinical diagnostic applications, including evoluti
Contamination precautions and quality control are great issues when human bones are investigated genetically. This is especially true for historical samples with only minute amounts of usually highly degraded DNA. But also in forensic routine analysis, sometimes DNA has to be isolated from bones in
