Forensic DNA analysis
With forensic DNA analysis, it is possible to unambiguously determine to whom a biological trace belongs. This method is highly specific and sensitive, a DNA profile can be obtained from very small amounts of biological material.
Any type of biological material of human origin can be used for DNA analysis. Traces most frequently analysed are:
- Blood stains;
- Saliva (cigarette butts, used cups, bottles, cans, chewing gum, toothbrushes etc.)
- Sperm (vaginal swabs, underwear, discarded condoms, linen etc.)
- Skin cells that can be found on objects a person has used;
- Pulled out hairs.
Forensic DNA analysis is based on determining forensic DNA profiles (obtained from biological evidence) and their comparison with the DNA profiles of persons suspected to have left the trace.
