DNA Forensics and Color Pigments
Read the Fine Print
Educational Use
Rating
0.0 stars

Students perform DNA forensics using food coloring to enhance their understanding of DNA fingerprinting, restriction enzymes, genotyping and DNA gel electrophoresis. They place small drops of different food coloring ("water-based paint") on strips of filter paper and then place one paper strip end in water. As water travels along the paper strips, students observe the pigments that compose the paint decompose into their color components. This is an example of the chromatography concept applied to DNA forensics, with the pigments in the paint that define the color being analogous to DNA fragments of different lengths.

Diurnal variation in the skin microbiome affects accuracy of forensic microbiome matching

Rating
0.0 stars

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"You leave traces on every surface you touch. These traces include parts of your unique skin microbiome, and the comparison of skin and surface microbiota has potential as a forensic tool. To test this concept, a recent study analyzed the metagenome left behind on surfaces by four people. People were matched to their household in 84% of the tests and their neighborhood in only 50% of tests. Matching accuracy decayed over the test period on public surfaces, but not in homes. Time of sample collection affected matching accuracy for both skin (reference) and surface samples (query). This may be driven by diurnal routines influencing microbial dispersal from these public surfaces. Returning home likely normalizes a person’s microbiome via contact with their household microbial reservoir. More research is needed with larger sample sizes and across a diverse range of situations to map out these effects and their mechanisms in more detail..."

The rest of the transcript, along with a link to the research itself, is available on the resource itself.

Rating
0.0 stars

Introduction to Criminal Investigation, Processes, Practices, and Thinking is a teaching text designed to assist the student in developing their own structured mental map of processes, practices, and thinking to conduct criminal investigations.

Delineating criminal investigation into operational descriptors of tactical-response and strategic response while using illustrations of task-skills and thinking-skills, the reader is guided into structured thinking practices. Using the graphic tools of a “Response Transition Matrix”, an “Investigative Funnel”, and the “STAIR Tool”, the reader is shown how to form their own mental map of investigative thinking that can later be articulated in support of forming their reasonable grounds to believe.
