Some of these limitations are: (1) the tendency of various reverse transcriptases (RT) to generate spurious second-strand cDNA due to their DNA-dependent DNA polymerase activities 9,10,18; (2) the
DNA was first described by Watson and Crick in 1953, as double-stranded molecule that adopts a helical arrange-ment. Each individual’s genome contains a large amount of DNA that is a potential target for DNA profiling. DNA Structure DNA is often described as the “blue print of life,” because it
This review contains a brief description of first, second, and third generation sequencing techniques, and focuses on the recent developments in human DNA analysis applicable in the forensic field. Relevance to the forensic analysis is that besides generation of standard STR-profiles, DNA repeats can also be sequenced to look for polymorphisms.
