Factors influencing the reliability of DNA typing results for bone samples

Publication at Faculty of Science, Second Faculty of Medicine |

Abstract

The quality and reliability of DNA typing results produced by research and forensic laboratories are limited by the amount and condition of the bone samples processed and are influenced by the applied laboratory practice(s). The chance of false-negative or false-positive identification results increases with longer post-mortem intervals and is due to the different environmental factors and common laboratory errors.
