Description
"Forensic Genetics: Looking Toward the 21st Century," is the theme of the 18th Congress of the International Society for Forensic Haemagenetics (ISFH) held in San Francisco, August 1999. Up to date, state of the art reports covering all aspects in the field of genetic markers application to problems of identification are contained in this 8th volume of Progress in Forensic Genetics (ICS 1193). Representatives from leading laboratories in the field and renowned experts from all over the world covered the latest trend in practical applications of new technologies and contributed valuable information based on author's experiences in casework and insights into future diversions.

Topics discussed included the current transition state of forensic genetics, population studies and DNA databasing, emergence of DNA technology, DNA profiling, and revelations of ongoing human genome research. New techniques for genetic testing have become faster, cheaper and more capable of sensitive analysis. The unique specification of an individual through genetic testing has now become a reality and has certainly set the trend for the new millennium.
