Featured forensics-related word ... Low copy number DNA (low-co•py-num•ber-DNA; [lō kä-pē nəm-bər dē-en-ā]. Generally refers to any situation where: 1) the amount of DNA available for amplification is limited due to small sample size or other factors (e.g., DNA degradation, PCR inhibition), and 2) interpreting the resulting DNA profile may require more considerations than interpreting single-source or mixed DNA profiles generated using higher amounts of DNA due to the potential for incomplete DNA profiles.
