(July 2010). Molecular anthropology is a field of anthropology in which molecular analysis is used to determine evolutionary links between ancient and modern human populations, as well as between contemporary species.itochondrial DNA offers another advantage over autosomal DNA. There are generally 2 to 4 copies of each chromosome in each cell (1 to 2 from each parent chromosome). For mtDNA there can be dozens to hundreds in each cell.
Effects of processing techniques on the forensic DNA analysis of human skeletal remains. Arismendi JL, Baker LE, Matteson KJ. Department of Anthropology, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN, USA. Human remains processed by forensic anthropologists may potentially be used for genetic analysis.Therefore, the condition of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in processed remains may become an issue for future analysis.Processing techniques employed by anthropologists are highly variable and scanning electron microscopy reveals significant alterations to the bone surface depending upon the technique used.his study assessed how five processing procedures used by major forensic anthropology laboratories around the country affects the amounts of DNA extracted from human rib bones and the subsequent DNA analysis.
