SWGDAM

SWGDAM (Scientific Working Group on DNA Analysis Methods) is a collaborative organization that develops and recommends standardized procedures and guidelines for DNA testing used in forensic science. Its goal is to ensure that DNA evidence analysis is consistent, reliable, and scientifically valid across laboratories and jurisdictions. This helps law enforcement and the legal system to interpret DNA results with confidence, supporting fair and accurate investigations and prosecutions. SWGDAM works with experts from laboratories, government agencies, and the scientific community to improve DNA analysis techniques and maintain high standards in forensic science.
