This is to accurately identify the manner of death (what weapon is used) and whom the attacker or victim is who has left any kind of identification sample like fingerprints at the scene of the crime. The sample would contain DNA of the person, and is used to identify who the person is. This DNA sample would be called a profile and is found within the nucleus of cells. There are different methods that can identify and analyze DNA. Those are Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLPs), Variable Number of Tandem Repeats loci (VNTRs), Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), and Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) that is also known as Microsatellites. I will be focusing on the PCR-STR method, which are two methods combined to create a more efficient amplification. “This combined method was created by Peter Gill to enable the simultaneous analysis of multiple STRs that is a tactic called multiplexing.”
