4 Weights 1kg a bag of sugar 1g paper clip 1mg (milligram) 0.001g brain of a bee 1µg (microgram) g weight of a bacterium 1ng (nanogram) g a millionth of a grain of salt - recommended input to profiling 1pg (picogram) g 6pg of DNA from each cell

5 Cells We lose about 30,000-40,000 skin cells an hour In a year, you lose about 8lbs of cells Where do they all go? The dust that collects on your tables, TV, windowsills and on those picture frames that are so hard to get clean is made mostly from dead human skin cells. In other words, your house is filled with former bits of yourself. About 10,000 will fit on the head of a pin Current DNA technology can profile one cell

20 Area of DNA tested Names of DNA components One DNA component from mother, another from father

21 Why statistics? DNA is NOT unique We look at only a few areas Need to know what the probability of finding the profile by chance is (i.e. to give an idea of how many other people may have been the source of the profile)
