DNA evidence requires an ever-increasing profile in investigations. Any type of organism can be identified by examination of the DNA sequences unique to that species. However, identifying individuals within a species is less precise, although as DNA sequencing technology progresses, direct comparison of very large DNA segments, and possibly even whole genomes, will become feasible and practical and will allow precise individual identification. Numerous applications include identifying suspects whose DNA matches evidence left at crime scenes, exonerating persons wrongly accused of crimes, identifying crime and catastrophe victims, establishing paternity and family relationships, identifying endangered and protected species, detecting microorganisms, determining pedigrees for seed or livestock breeds, and authenticating consumables. The goal of this program is to provide an integrated examination of evidence available from DNA - the prospects for further enhancements in technology, databases, and procedures to address the issues of current controversy. When used to its full potential, DNA evidence will help solve and may even prevent crime. Investigative professionals will uncover a wealth of valuable information to enable their case examinations and to eliminate their backlogs.
