title: Individual genetic identification of biological samples: a case of an aircraft accident.
abstract: In 2003, an aircraft accident occurred in the Madeira island north coast, in which 10 persons (4 female and 6 male) have died. STRs (autosomic and Y-chromosome) and mtDNA were made in order to identify the recovered human body remains and results compared with relatives.
