Question 1

what is the definition of dna forensics?

Accepted Answer

DNA forensics: DNA forensics =   technique used to identify individuals by characteristics of their deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) which can be used for legal purposes.

Question 2

what is the definition or description of: dna?

Accepted Answer

DNA: Deoxyribonucleic acid is informational molecules encoding the genetic instructions used in development & functioning of all living organisms & many viruses.

Question 3

what is the definition or description of: bk and jc virus dna?

Accepted Answer

See below: The jc virus or john cunningham virus (jcv) is a type of human polyomavirus (formerly known as papovavirus) and is genetically similar to bk virus and sv40. It was discovered in 1971 and named using the two initials of a patient with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (pml).The virus causes pml and other diseases only in cases of immunodeficiency, as in aids.

Question 4

what is the definition or description of: anti dna antibodies?

Accepted Answer

Autoimmunity: Anti dna antibody studies are used to screen for autoimmune disease. This test is used together with clinical history and exam to determine the significance of a positive result.

Question 5

what is the definition or description of: bacterial vaginosis dna?

Accepted Answer

Test for BV: Bv does not have a single, clearly defined infectious agent. Rather, it is characterized by an imbalance of normal vaginal flora resulting in a depletion of peroxidase-producing lactobacillus spp and overgrowth by gardnerella vaginalis and other bacteria.  Several studies have reported that molecular detection or quantitation of such bacteria could enhance sensitivity and/or specificity for bv.

Question 6

what happens when dna gets damaged?

Accepted Answer

Damaged  DNA: may be repaired by the body. DNA damage can lead to aging or development of disease state (such as cancer).

Question 7

how long does a dna patenity  test take ?

Accepted Answer

DNA paternity test: The technical part of dna paternity test is not taking that long. However, it is usually a court order for that and with legal procedures it might take up to 3 month.

Question 8

what is the implication of elevated single  strand dna?

Accepted Answer

Auto-Immune Disorder: I think what you are asking is "elevation of anti-bodies to single strand dna".   This means that you body is producing antibodies to specifically target proteins found throughout your body.  This is process scene in some common rheumatologic disorders.  I would suggest that since you are on Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) you physician is already aware of this or at least had the correct suspicion.

Question 9

how long after a sex male dna will find in women body during test ?

Accepted Answer

: Your question is confusing. Male DNA can be found in various specimens immediately after they touch/contact a female. Forensic testing using touch samples pick it up from cells shed during any skin contact. If you are asking about some other contact/fluid/sex pleas start over and clarify your question.

Question 10

how close could someone dna who isnt related?  could everything match but 2 things?

Accepted Answer

It's complicated...: Dna tests don't compare every gene-pair in one person with those in another person. Instead, there are many types of tests. The tests look at only some sections of people's dna. One can ask the person doing the test which kind of test it is and how likely it is for various matches to occur. Lots of information is at:  http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/dna_profiling.
