Monozygotic twins pose a challenge to forensic science due to the lack of standardized tools
to differentiate them within a pair, and thus making it difficult or impossible for a court to …

Monozygotic twins, also known as monovular twins, share an identical genetic heritage
because they are two individuals who derive from the same zygote. For this reason, they …

ABSTRACT DNA fingerprinting has revolutionized the field of forensic investigation in recent
times. The utility of DNA fingerprinting technology in differentiating between monozygotic …

Monozygotic (MZ) twins are theoretically genetically identical. Although they are revealed to
accumulate mutations after the zygote splits, discriminating between twin genomes remains …

Background Monozygotic (MZ) twins, considered genetically identical, cannot be
distinguished using regular short tandem repeats (STR) typing, thus presenting a challenge …

Monozygotic twins are difficult to differentiate in a forensic laboratory because they share
identical short tandem repeat DNA profiles. To help solve this problem, multiple new studies …

Monozygotic twins arise from a single fertilized egg and, thus, for practical purposes are
genetically identical. Therefore, in cases where one of the identical twins is associated with …

Twins have amazed and beguiled the human imagination throughout human history. In
Genesis, Jacob uses his status as a twin to deceive his aged father Isaac and steal his …

Individual identification plays an import role in the practice of forensic medicine, and often
provides crucial evidence for the analysis and detection of criminal cases. However, for …

Monozygotic (MZ) twins are considered being genetically identical, therefore they cannot be
differentiated using standard forensic DNA testing. Here we describe how identification of …
