Forensic DNA refers to the analysis of an individual's unique genetic material, typically obtained from biological samples like blood, hair, or saliva. In forensic investigations, scientists compare DNA from a crime scene to that of a suspect or known individual to establish or refute a connection. Because each person’s DNA is unique (except identical twins), this method is highly accurate for identifying individuals. Forensic DNA analysis helps solve crimes, identify victims, and clear innocent people, playing a crucial role in the justice system with scientific precision.
