Efficient retrieval from DNA databases: based on the second European DNA Profiling Group collaborative experiment.

Abstract:

:We describe an experiment to investigate the potential effectiveness of an international DNA database for linking unsolved crimes using the data from a collaborative exercise among members of the European DNA Profiling Group. We show that effective retrieval of unknown samples will be feasible even from large databases provided that the conditions that were adopted for the collaborative exercise are maintained.

  • The detection of petechial haemorrhages of the conjunctivae in dependency on the postmortem interval.

    abstract::Petechial haemorrhages of the conjunctivae are not specific for lethal throttling or strangulation, but they belong to the important indicators for such mechanisms. In experimental models it is shown that petechial bleedings of the conjunctivae disappear with the occurrence of advanced signs of putrefaction or in case...
