With the rapid development of Next-generation Sequencing(NGS)technologies, and its high throughput and low cost is applied widely in the field of life science, the increase in the depth of sequencing together decrease in the consumption of time and cost, makes a wide application of NGS in the research of microbiological research, ancient DNA study, clinical diagnosis, forensic science research, etc. The article discusses the second generation sequencing technology platform and its genetic markers in the forensic application. Included STR typing, SNP typing, HLA genotype prediction and the application in the degradation of the material.

To introduce tutorial system for undergraduate in the forensic biology teaching is an important measure of educational reform of forensic medicine.The article presented some schemes and experiences about the practice of tutorial system for undergraduate in the forensic biology department of Kunming Medical College.

Objective The study aimed to investigate 15 autosomal loci polymorphism(such as D3S1358 and TPOX)in Nujiang Bai nationality,in order to construct genetic basic data of Bai population and provide a foundation for population study and forensic cases. Methods Venous blood was collected from 124 unrelated Bai individuals in Nujiang,Yunnan province. DNA was extracted by classical organic solvent extraction. PCR technique was applied to amplify the sequence of autosomal loci. The products were measured by electrical fluoroscopy. The gene frequencies of 15 STR loci were investigated and genetic polymorphisms were analyzed. ResultsGene polymorphisms of 15 STR loci were detected and the distributions of genotype conformed with Hardy-Weinberg balance law(P > 0.05). The cumulative match probability(CPM)was 4.869×10-17,the cumulative excluding probability(CPE)was 99.999 99%,and the combined power of discrimination(CDP)was 99.999 97%. ConclusionThe 15 STR loci used in this study were highly polymorphic informative content in Bai population and could be applied to population study and forensic practice.

Objective To explore species specificity of 29 Y-SNP loci and to lay the foundation for forensic application.Methods Human DNA and 8 different kinds of common animals' DNA were amplified separately by PCR.The PCR products were analyzed with PAGE.Results Twenty-three out of 29 Y-SNP loci were only amplified by the male human DNA,which indicated a good species specificity.Three loci amplified from human and some animals showed that the length of the product was different between two species.Another three loci amplified from human and animal showed that the length of the fragment was similar between human and animal.Five loci were amplified by PCR products from both male and female samples.Conclusion Most of 29 Y-SNP loci,amplified in male humans,have good species specificity and can be directly used for personal identification and paternity testing.

Objective To evaluate the efficiency of combined screening for chromosomal abnormalities in the first trimester and the ultrasound characteristics of these fetuses.Methods Retrospective study for 5000 singleton pregnancies by combined screening of trisomies 21,18,13 and Turner syndrome.Risk algorithms were developed for calculation of patient-specific risks for each of the three trisomies based on maternal age,fetal nuchal translucency,free β human chorionic gonadotropin and serum pregnancy associated plasma protein A at 11 to 13 +6 weeks of pregnant.The value of nuchal translucency (NT) and β-hCG and pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) level were inputted computer,and calculate the risk value (≥ 1 ∶ 270) by automatic analysis software.Two hundred and four cases with high risk were performed transabdominal chorionic villus biopsy to detect the fetal chromosomal karyotypes.Meanwhile,other ultrasonic characteristics of fetal were elevated.Results (1) Five thousand cases of pregnant women were detected,including 4983 normal cases,62 cases were induced labor for a variety of reasons in the second trimester,including 40 cases with normal karyotype but with congenital heart disease,17 cases of chromosome abnormalities (9 cases trisomy 21,2 cases trisomy 18,1 cases trisomy 13,4 cases 45X),2 cases spina bifida,2 cases digestive tract obstruction,1 cases giant bladder.One case with low risk of fetal chromosomal abnormalities in combined screening,but high risk of age (maternal age were over 40 years old),it was 21 trisomy syndrome after the prenatal diagnosis.(2) Five cases of nasal bone loss in 9 cases of trisomy 21 (5/9),5 cases with three tricuspid regurgitation (5/9),4 cases of venous ductus a wave flow reverse (4/9),3 cases of fetal nasal bone loss accompanied by tricuspid regurgitation and venous ductus a wave flow reverse (3/9).One case of nasal bone loss in 2 cases of trisomy 18,2 cases were tricuspid regurgitation and venous ductus a wave flow reverse.Two cases in 4 cases of 45X had venous ductus a wave flow reverse.There were 8 cases (0.16％) nasal bone absence in 4983 cases of normal karyotype fetus,48 cases (0.96％) of tricuspid regurgitation and 44 cases (0.88％) of venous ductus a wave flow reverse.Thirty-two cases in 40 cases (80％) of fetal congenital heart disease were tricuspid regurgitation,30 cases of venous ductus a wave flow reverse (75％).Eight cases of nasal bone absence normal karyotype fetus were found the nasal bone at 20 weeks gestation.Conclusion Combination screening of nuchal translucency with serum markers in the first trimester were high detection rate and low false positive rate; a wave reversion and fetal nasal bone absence accompanied by tricuspid regurgitation can improve the detection rate of abnormal karyotype; abnormalities ultrasound marker may be associated with fetal congenital heart disease at 11-13 +6 weeks of pregnancy.

Objective To study the D gene polymorphism of Rh-negative blood group in Kunming resident population with PCR technology for gene typing,and to establish and perfect PCR detecting method for RhD gene.Method 46 samples of Rh-negative blood samples were collected and PCR amplification with exon-SSP had been done firstly.The samples of D gene part existing were screened,then PCR amplifying by intron-SSP had been conducted.The PCR amplification production with intron-SSP was used to DNA sequence.Results Among 46 Rh-negative samples,the number of D gene lost intacfly was 29;the complete existing one with all exons was 12.The sequencing results were that 2 samples of only containing D10 were RhD-CE(3-9)-D and the sample with only D4 and D6 was the newly discovered variant allele RhD-CE(2-3,5,7-9)-D.RhD ? was not found in our study.Conclusion(1)There is high frequency of RhD-CE(3-9)-D in Kunming area.(2)A new variant allele of RhD-CE(2-3,5,7-9)-D is first found in Kunming area.

Forensic biology is a main subject of forensic medicine.With the rapid development of science and technology,the courses should be constantly improved.New teaching mode has come into being application of multimedia technology in theoretical lessons,case teaching,independent completion of experimental lessons,which is thanks to the constant reinforcement of teaching staff and the reform of course content and teaching methods.

The article elaborated the standard of quality control,open service management system and requirements for system construction of forensic biology laboratory,which is to share laboratory recourses and advance the healthy and sustainable development of the laboratory.

Based on the experience of experimental teaching reform of forensic biology,the article made a systematic exposition about the measures and experience of the research and practice of the reform from the following aspects: aim of the reform,priority of the reform and specific measures.By reforming experimental teaching methods,the students' interests and performance record have been significantly improved.
