TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - 'The story of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" or "am I my brother's keeper?" JO - Journal of forensic sciences A1 - Oz, Carla A1 - Zamir, Ashira A1 - Gafny, Ron A1 - Motro, Uzi SP - 137 EP - 139 VL - 48 IS - 1 N2 - Presented is a case report of a violent sexual assault where the DNA profile obtained from an item of evidence was compared to a suspect's profile. The profiles did not match, but the sharing of such a large number of alleles raised the suspicion that perhaps the real perpetrator was a blood relative of the suspect. The investigators requested a sample from the suspect's brother, and a match was defined. In an era of technological breakthroughs in the field of forensic DNA analysis, the importance of the scientist's attention to the evidence presented in each case is stressed.
