Abstract

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) profile results were obtained from bloodstains and other body fluid stains subjected to mixture with other body fluids, environmental insults (sunlight and temperature), different substrates (cotton, nylon, blue denim, glass, aluminum, and wood), and contaminants (gasoline, bleach, sodium hydroxide, soil, motor oil, detergent, phosphate salt, glacial acetic acid, and micro-organisms). Of the samples that produced profile results, all had profiles that were consistent with those of untreated control samples.

Keywords:
forensic science, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), blood, body fluids, genetic typing, restriction fragment length polymorphisms
