Abstract
Epidemiological and forensic analyses of bioterrorism events involving Bacillus anthracis could be improved if both variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)... Tracking Anthrax It doesn't take an expert to know that the instantaneous results and dramatic conclusions depicted in television portrayals of forensic scientists are unrealistic, but at the same ...Keywords
