This comprehensive handbook will help forensic scientists gain a better understanding of STRs and the procedures needed to properly analyze them  while helping professionals in the law enforcement and legal communities comprehend the complexities of DNA profiling. It will also help laboratories meet the training requirements in the new DNA Advisory Board Quality Assurance Standards.  The first few chapters of Forensic DNA Typing provide a thorough introduction to the topic for readers who might be less familiar with DNA  while providing a useful review for more advanced readers. It goes on to cover new genetic markers and information on rapidly changing technologies to help professionals make accurate identifications through DNA typing. Detailed illustrations and examples are used throughout. The book concludes with reviews of the DNA testing performed in high-profile cases such as the O.J. Simpson trial  the President Clinton-Monica Lewinsky affair  the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier  the Thomas Jefferson-Sally Hemings family controversy  and others.  John Butler has been involved in the validation of the short tandem repeat markers that form the basis of the FBIs nationwide DNA database  CODIS  and in the development of new and innovative technologies. His talent for explaining complex information is apparent in the clear organization  illustrations  and straightforward language of this text. Forensic DNA Typing has already established itself as the standard reference in the field.
