Dr. Mirna Ghemrawi
Forensic Science Research and Education (CFSRE) and Thomas Jefferson University

Covered in this Webinar
Learn how combining genetic and epigenetic sequencing improves forensic profiling by streamlining traditional methods.
Understand the implications of this research for age prediction and body fluid identification in forensic investigations.
Discover the efficiency and specificity achieved through custom probes and a tailored bioinformatics pipeline.
Insights from a successful research project using the Twist Human Ancient DNA Panel to analyze 5,000-year-old remains

Join us for an insightful webinar exploring the challenges researchers face when working with extremely biomolecularly degraded, ancient DNA (aDNA) and forensic samples.

Sample deterioration and contamination over time can make the extraction of usable genetic material difficult. However, with advanced DNA enrichment tools like the Twist Human Ancient DNA Panel, researchers can overcome these hurdles and unlock invaluable data from even the most challenging samples.

In this webinar, Dr. Nicoletta Zedda from the University of Ferrara, Italy, will showcase how combining Twist advanced capture technology with optimized protocols enabled successful analysis of highly degraded aDNA, supporting the reconstruction of familial relationships from important prehistorical samples.
