Forensic DNA Databank

A forensic DNA databank is a secure digital collection of DNA samples from individuals, often including convicted offenders, arrestees, and, in some cases, unidentified remains. Law enforcement agencies use these banks to compare DNA evidence gathered from crime scenes to identify or exclude suspects quickly. When a DNA sample matches a profile in the databank, it can provide crucial leads in investigations, helping to solve crimes more efficiently and accurately. The system relies on advanced genetic analysis techniques and strict privacy safeguards to ensure the ethical use of genetic information.
