The Problem:
In the US an average of 115,000 rapes and attemped sexual assaults are reported each year.
Another 250,000 are not reported
There are also 16,500 murders and several million robberies

The Issues
1. The current estimated backlog of untested forensic DNA samples is 540,000
2. The number of untested rape kits nationwide is estimated to be 180,000 to 500,000
3. DNA is collected from criminals and data based in a system known as CODIS

But How To Process All This Data?
Hundreds of thousands of samples?
Silver Stained Slab Gel?
Lab Floors like a Darkroom!
Fingers like an Iraqivoter !

Capillary Electrophoresis The alternative
1. Injection, separation, and detection are automated.
2. Rapid separations are possible
3. Peak information is automatically stored for easy retrieval.

State crime lab would not attempt nuclear DNA due to the fact the body had been in water at some point

Application of Miniplexes In February of 2003,
DNA extraction and amplification with the Miniplex sets were performed
Low amounts of DNA yielded a profile for 12 CODIS loci covered by the Miniplexes
Profile information was given to the forensic anthropologist and the coroner’s office
October, 2004: the coroner was contacted by a woman who had seen the sketch on the internet and thought it looked like her mother
Buccal swabs from the suspected daughter were taken and sent to the McCord lab at FIU

The Issue:
With increasing interest in the forensic community in the interpretation of compromised samples and mixtures, we need to be able to better interpret electropherograms in court
We need to determine the relative effects of DNA degradation and inhibition on peak height ratios.
We need to understand the combinatorial effects of different inhibitors
We need to understand the environmental aspects of degradation and soil inhibition
We need to explore the interpretation of low level mixtures in the presence of a major contributors

Conclusions
The key to automated forensic DNA typing was multiplex PCR amplification with capillary gel electrophoresis with laser induced fluorescence
Redesign of PCR primers using MniSTRs permits recovery of badly degraded DNA
Mechanisms for understanding DNA degradation can be determined using real time PCR.
Technology transfer: multiplex capillary electrophoresis, miniSTRs, realtime PCR technologies impact peoples lives. For example:this year the incidence of reported rape has hit a 20 year low
