Master thesis discussion

The Department of Biology Sciences College of Education for Pure Sciences / University of Karbala, discussed a master’s thesis tagged (The Use of Short Synonymous Repetitive Markers (SRT) for Bone Samples in the Forensic Diagnosis of Humans in the Holy Karbala Province) by the student (Hussein Majed Mahmoud Al-Obaidi), and under the supervision of Prof. Yasmine Khudair Khalaf, on Monday 12/21/2020, and in the discussion room of the Department of Life Sciences, and the aim of the study was to investigate the role and markers of short synonymous repeats (SRTs) in molecular diagnostics to know the return of samples that help in revealing the identity of individuals.
Among the conclusions of the study, it led to the success of DNA extraction by magnetic particles, which gives high efficiency in bone samples with an amount of 150 mg of bone powder, and the impurities in the extraction were eliminated, the strength of distinction in the DNA profiles increased when the number of sites investigated increased. . Forensic DNA profiles and statistical interpretation are important in identifying missing persons based on the profiles of their relatives. The discussion resulted in several recommendations, including: Supporting educational institutions for forensic medicine in Iraq to play an important role in developing forensic genetics, establishing more DNA laboratories and departments in many Iraqi governorates to cover all parts of our country, establishing a research center concerned with the applications of genetic fingerprinting, whether criminal or Medical research and studies. The letter has been accepted by the discussion committee.
