Relevance of DNA profiling in air crash disasters
Authors
Dr. S Krishnan
Abstract
In cases of mass disaster, there is often a need for managing,
analyzing, and comparing large numbers of biological samples and DNA profiles.
This requires the use of laboratory information management systems for
large-scale sample logging and tracking, coupled with bioinformatic tools for
DNA database searching according to different matching algorithms, and for the
evaluation of the significance of each match by likelihood ratio calculations.
There are many different interrelated factors and circumstances involved in
each specific mass disaster scenario that may challenge the final DNA
identification goal, such as: the number of victims, the mechanisms of body
destruction, the extent of body fragmentation, the rate of DNA degradation, the
body accessibility for sample collection, or the type of DNA reference samples
availability.
