Crime Report: A thief has stolen a priceless collection of jewels from the Museum of Precious Jewels. Forensic technicians obtained skin cells from a forehead print left on the glass enclosure of the jewel exhibit. DNA has been isolated and PCR amplified for some of the standard STR loci. A partial genetic profile generated from the collected DNA is shown in Figure 5. 10 50 DNA Profile from Forehead Print Number of base pairs 00 50 40 D58818 075830 I 16 MU DES1179 Shandand (10) 70 CSF1PO DITS820 80 100 Figure 5.
