Transitioning from Forensic Genetics to Forensic Genomics

Transitioning from Forensic Genetics to Forensic Genomics

Due to its support of law enforcement, forensics is a conservative field; nevertheless, driven by scientific and technological progress, forensic genetics is slowly transitioning into forensic genomics. With this Special Issue of Genes we acknowledge and appreciate this rather recent development by...
