The wonderful thing about this book is the clarity of its explanations and its expansive content. … For anyone interested in getting the clearest and most up to date information on the field of DNA analysis, there is no other book that comes close in terms of content or clarity." - Bruce McCord, Ph.D. Professor of Analytical and Forensic Chemistry, International Forensic Research Institute, Florida International University John Butler, bestselling author of Forensic DNA Typing, now applies his expertise on the subject of DNA analysis into an introductory textbook.
