1 INTRODUCTION
DNA can be used to distinguish individuals based on the individuality of their profiles. A profile is a visualization of the genetic code which shows locations, or loci, of particular regions on the genome where the code can be...

The last aim of this study was to see whether or not a correlation existed between degradation of the physical latent fingerprint and degradation of the DNA within it. Again there was no relationship between degradation of physical fingerprint...

4.3 Future Research
Fingerprints as a criminal identification, along with perhaps DNA profiles, may allow crime laboratories and law enforcement agencies to work together and have access to these profiles to help solve cases. This research...
