Forensic Genetics

Forensic genetics is the application of genetics to the criminal justice system. It uses genetic analysis to identify individual biological evidence such as hair, saliva, blood, and skin, which can link suspects to a crime scene. It also uses DNA testing to answer questions of paternity, identity, and kinship in legal cases. Forensic genetics is a powerful tool for law enforcement and justice systems as it provides a more reliable and objective means of investigating and prosecuting criminals. Moreover, its use of genetic analysis can help protect the innocent by exonerating those wrongly convicted of crimes.
