Advancements in Forensic DNA Analysis (eBook, PDF) von Hirak Ranjan Dash; Kelly M. Elkins; Noora Rashid Al-Snan

This textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students discusses advancements in forensic DNA analysis since early texts were published. It presents conventional and latest serological and molecular biological methods for body fluid identification. This book also describes the applications and advantages of next-generation sequencing (NGS) compared to conventional methods in forensic DNA analysis. It also defines the growing importance, techniques, and applications for the analysis of non-human DNA in forensic sciences. Further, the book examines the role of DNA databases in forensic interp...

Dr. Noora R. Al-Snan is an enthusiastic DNA analyst who has joined Ministry of Interior (MOI), in General Directorate of Criminal Investigation and Forensic Science, FSL (Bahrain) in 2008. Currently assigned as the head of Biology & DNA Forensic Lab. In 2019, she has completed her PhD degree in molecular medicine specializing in medical genetics in the topic of DNA typing for the Bahraini population under the supervision of the Arabian Gulf University (AGU) with the cooperation of Naif Arab University for Security Sciences - NAUSS - (Riyadh, KSA). In 2012, she has received her MSc degree in medical biotechnology specializing in genetic engineering for recombinant proteins from AGU. She has completed a bachelor's degree in molecular biology and biochemistry studies from Kuwait University (Kuwait). In her 15 years of forensic experience, she has analyzed and solved many challenging cases mainly related to terrorism, robbery and murder. Dr. Noora has joined many conferences and workshops as a speaker and delegated from Ministry of Interior (MOI). She has achieved many outstanding results along with her team as obtained the 1^st position worldwide for DNA hit of the year (2023) in bomb cases and previously (2017) awarded the 5th position worldwide from the same organization: The Gordon Thomas Honeywell DNA during the HIDS Conference. In addition, one of the published scientific papers was the most frequent downloaded paper in Molecular Genetics and Genomics. Also, she is corresponding author for several scientific papers and books and international reviewer for many published articles. Al-Snan is a member of scientific committee in NAUSS and as well as in ISFG and ISFG Arabic speaking group. She has set innovative protocols regarding recovery of DNA from RDX-C4 evidence, Forensic DNA intelligence, fast and effective DNA extraction from teeth, bones and maggots and has innovative strategy to obtain investigative leads from homozygous loci count. Her main interests are investing in human resources, continuous education, and R&D.
