| Research Abstract |
This study aims to improve accuracy for personal identificationin the comparison with highly-degraded DNA derived from deceased person in the war and their family members or to identify whether victims in the criminal case or accidents are Japanese or not, by making the best use of characteristics of maternally-inherited mitochondrial DNA and paternally-inherited Y-chromosomal DNA, and X-chromosomal DNA. We have already applied the results of this research to some examples and demonstrated theirusefulness.
