4.00 Credits
Three hours lecture; three hours laboratory. Prerequisite: BIOL 231 or BIOL/CHEM 471/472, or permission of instructor. An introduction to the basic principles and molecular techniques currently utilized by the majority of forensic laboratories performing DNA and/or protein analysis. Lectures will provide students with an understanding of the scientific foundation for, and the development of, each technique. Topics include DNA/protein structure, origins of genetic variation, methods for quantifying variation, population genetic theory used in forensic analysis, forensic informatics, statistical approaches to data analysis, and legal issues associated with molecular forensics. The laboratory portion will provide students hands on experience with a variety of forensic techniques and will also train the student in proper record keeping, laboratory quality assurance/quality control requirements, and performing routine laboratory calculations.
