Forensic Genomics and its Applications

Forensic genomics is a technology used in criminal investigations that analyzes DNA and other genetic information to identify criminals, confirm victims, and reconstruct crimes. It includes traditional DNA profiling as well as advanced genome sequencing, biometrics, and data analysis.

Advancements in DNA Profiling

  • Advanced DNA Sequencing: In addition to traditional STR (Short Tandem Repeat)-based profiling, technologies like Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) analysis are now being used, enabling more accurate and detailed identification.
  • Analysis from Minimal Samples: New techniques allow profiling from very small or degraded DNA samples, which has led to success in old or complex ....
