    Citation: Investigative Genetics 2011 2:12
  3. In sexual-assault cases, autosomal DNA analysis of gynecological swabs is a challenge, as the presence of a large quantity of female material may prevent detection of the male DNA. A solution to this problem i...

    Citation: Investigative Genetics 2011 2:7
  6. In recent years, phylogeographic studies have produced detailed knowledge on the worldwide distribution of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants, linking specific clades of the mtDNA phylogeny with certain geogra...

    Authors: Mannis van Oven, Mark Vermeulen and Manfred Kayser
    Citation: Investigative Genetics 2011 2:6
  7. Targeted re-sequencing is one of the most powerful and widely used strategies for population genetics studies because it allows an unbiased screening for variation that is suitable for a wide variety of organi...

    Citation: Investigative Genetics 2010 1:14
  10. Brazilian Amerindians have experienced a drastic population decrease in the past 500 years. Indeed, many native groups from eastern Brazil have vanished. However, their mitochondrial mtDNA haplotypes, still pe...

    Citation: Investigative Genetics 2010 1:9
  13. The ability of the Y chromosome to retain a record of its evolution has seen it become an essential tool of molecular anthropology. In the last few years, however, it has also found use in forensic genetics, p...
