Everything about Forensic DNA analysis
Genetic profiling for legal evidence
Forensic DNA analysis is the determination of a DNA profile for legal and investigative purposes. DNA analysis methods have changed countless times over the years as technology changes and allows for more information to be determined with less starting material. Modern DNA analysis is based on the statistical calculation of the rarity of the produced profile within a population. Wikipedia →
