Description

Genetic information from World War One Australian soldiers’ skeletal remains found in mass graves overseas is often incomplete, complicating the task of identification. This thesis investigated alternative methods of identifying these remains; specifically, new methods interrogating genetic information inherited from one’s father were explored. Publicly available genetic information from an online database, as well as genetic information isolated from living individuals, indicated alternative genetic markers inherited from the father may resolve these identification cases. This research should aid in the identification of servicemen remains and provide important closure information for their families.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
