Although the genetic identification of human remains exposed to various external factors for many years is a complex process, modern methods and the high level of specialist training make it possible to overcome these difficulties, Jamila Bayramova, chief specialist at the Genetic Research Center of the Main Military Medical Department of the State Security Service, said during a panel session at the 4th International Conference held within the framework of the Baku Dialogue on Missing Persons, APA reports.
She said that specialists mainly work with bone samples that have been exposed to various factors for a long period of time. Time, soil characteristics, temperature changes and other factors lead to DNA degradation, making research more difficult and requiring a special approach.
According to Jamila Bayramova, genetic analyses, including the use of modern DNA technologies, play an important role in such cases. Despite difficulties in obtaining reference samples, specialists continue the identification process using the available capabilities.
The chief specialist emphasized that the professional training of employees, the application of modern scientific methods and an individual approach to each sample make it possible to resolve complex cases.
