Introducing New Methods for DNA Analysis: Ability to Determine If DNA ID for Victims at the Scene Could Reduce Sample Volume.

摘要

Technological advances in DNA analysis have led to improved investigation and prosecution of crimes. However, there is still a need to eliminate downstream laboratory analysis of less probative or uninformative samples and provide on-site information to aid in investigations. While working at a crime scene, forensic investigators may encounter a variety of potential DNA evidence and then prioritize which samples will be collected for DNA analysis. The goal is to find samples from both the victim and perpetrator. However, finding the DNA of a perpetrator at a scene can be challenging. Rapidly producing DNA information on site could identify which source the DNA comes from and reduce lab work.
