This course will also cover the different ways in which the standard DNA profiling (STRs) can be used in relationship testing, reverse paternity testing and familial testing and how it can be applied to Disaster Victim Ientification (DVI). This course will also cover how these technologies are being used in other types of laboratories (medical genetic testing, genetic genealogical testing, parentage testing).
