Forensic Biology
Author:Richard Li
Edition:2nd Edition
Biological evidence takes center stage in this exploration of forensic science, focusing on how DNA and bodily materials are analyzed in criminal investigations. It connects laboratory techniques—such as PCR, DNA profiling, and serology—with crime scene practices, emphasizing accuracy, interpretation of results, and the role of quality control in legal contexts.
