A new study, led by city-based Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics, has found a novel marker in Telangana population that could help in cracking crimes, settling paternity disputes and identification during disasters.
Scientists fromCDFDand several forensic labs in the country have conducted a study on population of five Indian states to find out the forensic relevance of certain genes. The study also reconfirmed earlier findings that the population of Telangana is much closer to the populace ofMadhya Pradesh.
The research paper, Assessment of Significance and Forensic Relevance of SE33 (ACTB) Locus in Five Indian Populations was published recently in Gene Reports journal.
The probability of matching a profile with any other source is always unique and therefore can be used to establish the identity of the person.
SE33 is the potential marker for human identification, especially for solving paternity disputes and analysis of mixed samples.
