Learn MoreDNA is a powerful tool in uniquely identifying individuals because it is highly discriminating. Using modern technology, a person's DNA can be extracted from a very small biological sample, such as a few drops of blood. This sample can be analyzed to create a DNA profile that can be used in much the same way as fingerprints are used to identify a person.
A known DNA profile, drawn from an identified biological sample, can be compared to another unknown DNA profile drawn from a different biological sample. It the profiles match, we can conclude that the two samples originated from the same person. If the profiles do not match; however, it is clear that these samples came from two different people. DNA collected from a crime scene can either link or eliminate a suspect. In addition, evidence from one crime scene can be compared to evidence from another crime scene.
