Zusammenfassung

Mithilfe eines Mikroskops mit einem digitalen Mikromanipulator werden einzelne Epithelzellen von Spurenträgern gesichert. Die forensische DNA-Analyse der Einzelzellen erfolgt mittels Sequenzierung der hypervariablen Region der mtDNA.

Abstract

With a technique using a microscope with a digital micromanipulator, single epithelial cells can be lifted off the surface of material evidence and can be directly made available for forensic DNA-testing. DNA-testing is then accomplished by sequencing the hypervariable region of the mtDNA.
