United Kingdom National DNA Database

The United Kingdom National DNA Database (NDNAD) is a large collection of DNA profiles collected from individuals involved in criminal investigations. Created to assist law enforcement, it stores DNA samples from crime scenes, convicted offenders, and volunteers. By matching DNA from a crime scene to the database, police can identify suspects or eliminate innocent people from investigations. The database is regulated to protect individuals' privacy, and access is limited to authorized personnel. Its primary goal is to aid in solving crimes and increasing public safety.
