Latent DNA detection on items of forensic relevance #researchawards #fosawards #sciencefather
Latent DNA detection refers to the identification and recovery of invisible or trace amounts of genetic material left behind on items of forensic relevance, such as weapons, clothing, documents, or everyday objects. These biological traces—often left through skin cells, sweat, saliva, or other bodily fluids—are crucial in criminal investigations, as they can help establish identity, link suspects to crime scenes, and provide vital evidence in court. Advanced forensic techniques, including swabbing, tape-lifting, touch DNA analysis, and enhanced visualization methods, allow scientists to maximize recovery of these minute DNA samples while minimizing contamination risks.
