BioTechniques - Seven Retractions for Indian Immunologist
This is the biggest scam the world of science has ever seen.....7 research papers have been manipulated and published by a Hyderabad based CDFD scientist......questions as to the management of funds granted to this scientist for his research work, his other research work and why he is still being continued in service of Govt of India will never be looked into as it appears that some seniors too may be involved in it......
A blog to spread information and give updates on DNA testing in India for benefit of Medico-legal experts, Doctors, public and Advocates.

Let me reiterate again. Not a single DNA laboratory in India is worthy of analysing and reporting DNA testing. Not only this case, scores of cases are being falsely reported. Further sensational cases like these are being reported as 'inconclusive' or 'no DNA could be isolated". The present set of the so-called DNA experts have no expertise or skill. Tragedy is that the Judiciary is accepting DNA reports blindly without looking into the procedures being followed. Few Courts have thrown DNA reports out of the trial as being outdated or without following standards as laid down. Till such time some control is put in place and DNA experts are replaced, such cases of children being abused will abound in this country. My sincere regrets to all such suffering parents.

TODAYonline | Singapore | Error leads to retesting of DNA used in 87 cases
This is something serious. Supports my demand for scientific auditing of Forensic Labs and DNA labs in India too.

Y Chromosome analysis is not useful..........
During Y-STR analyses, genetic abnormalities—such as duplications or deletions—can complicate data interpretation. It is important to keep in mind the possibility of rearrangements involving Y-STRs used in forensic investigations, especially when more than one peak is present in a Y single-copy locus. In fact these alterations could address to a wrong mixed (originated from two or more individuals) DNA profile interpretation. In a routine paternity testing, it was found that a father/son pair with double peaks at two loci. Both these markers are included in a commercially available kit used in forensic genetics. One locus is also included in SWGDAM-recommended Y-STR panel. Moreover, since both these markers map in AZFa region, samples were analyzed to clarify a possible relationship between this Y-STR profile and infertility. For the same reason, two half-brothers involved in a deficiency paternity testing with null allele at DYS448 locus, were analyzed for AZFc region deletions. Since DYS448 null types were already described, these samples were compared with the literature data. A null Y-STR locus should not
represent a problemfor profile interpretation,more than one peak at one or more loci could lead up to a deep misinterpreting of a profile and therefore from which kind of sample the profile come out

Statistical Error Leads to Genetics Retraction
This is the level to which scientific data is being published without verification. Wonder how it came to be peer reviewed and recommended for publication.
