Goals The aim of the course is to clarify the basic knowledge about molecular genetics for anthropologists to understand the underlying facts of forensic identification via DNA analysis and ancient DNA analysis
Course Content In the course, the inheritance model and the characteristics of the inheritance material will be examined and the factors causing DNA damage will be discussed. In this way, the difficulties of DNA analysis from damaged samples will be indicated and the process of preparation of samples will be explained.
Learning Outcomes 1) Anthropologists will recognize the properties of inheritance material and methods of analysis
2) Anthropologists will understand the molecular methods used in identification
3) Anthropolgists will understand the molecular analysis techniques of anthropological material and will be able to interpret the results
