![]() ![]() Substantial DNA databases have already been established for a number of population groups, but the development of new standards and new reference databases is likely in the immediate future following the implementation of PCR-based DNA typing systems, and a strong argument can be made for population geneticists to share protocols and markers with the forensic community in order to type well-defined reference populations and from them to contribute to the analysis of human genetic diversity. Case work and search for reference populations complement in the daily activity of the forensic scholars. DNA analysis is today offering new possibilities of collaboration. Abstract: The collaboration between the Forensic Community and the scholars of human population genetics, among whom I place myself, has always been fruitful and of reciprocal benefit in Italy as much as in Europe and in North-America, in the latter with a more dialectical attitude as shown by recent rather hot debates. ![]()
