This episode of 'Dr. DNA Dan' hosted by Professor Dan Handley from Southern California University of Health Sciences delves into genetics, specifically focusing on short tandem repeats (STRs). The podcast explains the significance of STRs in forensic DNA testing and paternity tests by measuring the number of repeated sequences in different individuals' genomes. STRs, found across all human chromosomes, are used to match DNA samples in criminal investigations through the CODIS database ...

If you think back to your early years of biology class, you may remember learning about tiny cellular energy factories, called mitochondira. Mitochondria are microscopic powerhouses hiding within most cells and they play a huge role in our health. Damaged mitochondria can lead to a host of health issues. But healthy mitochondria can result in optimal aging. DNA Dan explains more on mitochondria, and how better understandings may help advance new approaches in the study of some diseases. -----...
