Recommendations for the successful identification of altered human remains using standard and emerging technologies: Results of a systematic approach

Alina Senst et al.

Summary: This study aimed to provide evidence-based recommendations for the successful identification of altered human remains by investigating commonly used tissues from altered bodies. The study found differences between tissue types and DNA extraction methods, with blood samples outperforming others. Additionally, Next Generation Sequencing provided higher profile completeness compared to standard genotyping methods.

An analysis of data curated from 5 years of identifying human remains

Robert W. W. Allen et al.

Summary: This article summarizes a curated archive of 5 years of cases involving the identification of human remains. The study collected information on the sample type submitted, the number of interpretable STR loci, the kinship challenge, and the case outcome. Manual DNA extraction and recovery methods were used in investigating 129 cases using the Power Plex 21 multiplex STR kit from Promega Corp. The overall success rate of confirming the identity of the remains was 89.2%.

Forensic DNA extraction methods for human hard tissue: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis of technologies and sample type

Chandra Finaughty et al.

Summary: DNA identification plays a crucial role in forensic science. This study conducted a systematic literature review to identify the optimal DNA extraction techniques for hard tissue samples. The results showed that solid-phase magnetic bead/resin methods and demineralisation pre-step significantly improved the success rate of DNA profiling.

A comparison of five DNA extraction methods from degraded human skeletal remains

Christian Haarkoetter et al.

Summary: Extracting DNA from degraded human remains is challenging and requires efficient methods. This study compared five DNA extraction protocols on 25 different degraded skeletal remains and found that organic extraction by phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol was the best performing method, while Roche silica columns were the most efficient.

Survivability versus rate of recovery for skeletal elements in forensic anthropology

Shelby Scott et al.

Summary: Survivability and recovery rate are two distinct concepts often confused in forensic anthropology. This study presents empirical data to illustrate their differences in actual casework scenarios and suggests that researchers consider citing recovery rates to provide a theoretical foundation that emphasizes practical application.

Comparison of DNA preservation between adult and non-adult ancient skeletons

Ariana Suligoj et al.

Summary: This study compares the preservation of DNA in the skeletal remains of adults and non-adults. It finds that petrous bone is a suitable source for DNA in non-adult remains, with higher DNA yield than in adult petrous bone. The results are applicable for sampling strategies in forensic genetics cases.

Comparison of nuclear DNA yield and STR typing success in Second World War petrous bones and metacarpals III

Irena Zupanic Pajnic et al.

Summary: The DNA yield and STR typing success vary depending on the type of skeletal element and bone, with metacarpals III recommended for genetic identification due to similar performance to petrous bones, especially in highly degraded skeletal remains.

High DNA yield from metatarsal and metacarpal bones from Slovenian Second World War skeletal remains

Tomaz Zupanc et al.

Summary: The research focused on exploring interand intra-individual variation in DNA content, determining the most promising skeletal elements for bone sampling, and finding bones that yield the most complete profiles. The study examined a single Second World War mass grave, analyzing different types of bones from three complete male skeletons to investigate DNA content and rates of DNA degradation, with promising results from metacarpals, metatarsals, and the petrous portion of the temporal bone.

Progress in forensic bone DNA analysis: Lessons learned from ancient DNA

Michael Hofreiter et al.

Summary: Research on ancient and forensic DNA has shown interconnectedness between the two fields, with potential for improved results through communication. Incorporating ancient DNA approaches into forensic protocols is promising, but requires comparative studies to tailor methods for forensic needs.
