Course Objectives:	The aim of this course is to teach the students how to obtain the biological evidence, DNA sources, possible ways to obtain DNA, polymorphic systems used in past and present, basic principles of population genetics, identification, affinity determination e.t.c.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1. The use of and application molecular biology techniques in forensic science
2. Crime scene investigation- the collection and transfer of biological evidence
3. Evaluation of biological evidence found at the crime scene and establish a connection between the suspect - victim.
4. identification of biological evidence using DNA technologies and determination of paternity and kinship.
5.The importance of DNA banks In solving forensic cases

Course Content

Pure expression, assignment preparation, discussion and evaluation. Students are going to prepare assignments about the uses of DNA in forensic cases. These cases are going to be discussed in the course, so that they can assess their theological knowledge. By preparing their assessments, the students are going to scan scientific literature from internet and scientific journals
