1. 9-5 Mitochondrial DNA

2. Mitochondrial DNA
Mitochondrial DNA is located outside the cell’s nucleus and is inherited from the mother.

3. Mitochondrial DNA

4. Forensic Typing
Two regions of mitochondrial DNA, HV1 and HV2, are sequenced for a forensic typing purposes.
Tandem repeats. MLVA is a method used to perform molecular typing of microorganisms. It utilizes the naturally occurring variation in the number of tandem repeated DNA sequences found in the microbial genome of most bacterial species. Such tandem repeats may be perfect, but often imperfect repeats containing mutations are encountered.

5. Uses
Mitochondrial DNA typing does not approach STR analysis is discrimination power and thus is best reserved for samples, such as hair, for which STR analysis might not be possible.

6. CODIS
Combined DNA Index System, CODIS is a computer software program developed by the FBI that maintains a DNA database.

7. CODIS Profiles CODIS is a DNA profile database from

8. CODIS Forensic Database
Forensic index has DNA samples contains about 110,000 samples of unsolved crime scene cases.

9. Offender Index
Offender Index had DNA from almost 7,000,000 arrested or convicted criminals.
