Credits
This is a 3-credit course.
Description
This course is the second DNA course that picks up where the DNA 1 course left off. In the DNA 1 course, students learned about the methods routinely used for the isolation of DNA from cells and techniques applied to DNA quantitation, electrophoretic separation, as well as data analysis, interpretation and reporting. In the DNA 2 course, students will learn about how to interpret DNA data to include mixture deconvolution and the statistics that apply to DNA matches/inclusions. Additional modules will guide the student through the basis of Y-STR testing and Kinship testing to include statistical applications in both. Finally, the student will learn the report writing, review and testimony skills required of a DNA analyst.
