Korean Guidelines for DNA Typing in Forensic Field / 대한법의학회지

ABSTRACT

The field of forensic DNA requires not only genetic typing but also social systems. The systems include the establishment of Korean guidelines for DNA typing. There were some publications relating DNA typing guidelines in 2001 and 2002, but the works could not be sustained. Although KOLAS and KIGTE are operating now, we can hardly say that these are optimal for forensic purposes. There also have been foreign publications about the DNA typing guidelines. Considering various differences among nationality, however, we need to establish suitable guidelines for Korean. Therefore, expert members in forensic society should be concern about Korean guidelines for DNA typing and participate in this work.
