Editing Cipher Cracking 2019 (section)

==General project description==
In this project is about human identification. In times of war and natural disaster there is a high demand for the ability to identify human remains. Also in the area of policing crime, the need to forensically identify remains is critical.  Also human identification can extend to humans that are alive: for example reuniting an adopted child with a birth family. Children that do not know their origins for a number of reasons (eg. human trafficking of babies) can also benefit.   

The idea of this project is to advance the techniques of human identification by focusing on a difficult case that that is too hard for current techniques.  You can read the details about the dead body and the circumstances [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taman_Shud_Case here.]

We also want you to bring the skills of an electrical engineer to bear on the area of e-forensics and bioinformatics see if you can apply these to an important area of the case, ie. analyzing degraded DNA sequences.
