Genomic variations and chromosomal abnormalities

After over a decade of operation, the National DNA Index System (NDIS) continues to grow in importance and size [1]. While the STR DNA technology has remained relatively consistent, other key aspects of the NDIS program have been reevaluated and revisions implemented. For example, based upon recommendations of the Scientific Working Group on DNA Analysis Methods, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) issued revised Quality Assurance Standards (QAS) for Forensic DNA Testing and Databasing Laboratories that took effect July 1, 2009 [2].
