UNH Research Finds Simpler and Cost-Effective Forensics Test to Help Identify Touch DNA
Television dramas, like CSI and NCIS, make criminal investigations look easy. In real life, DNA testing can be challenging and requires expensive equipment, special facilities and extensive training to identify DNA from a crime scene and determine which belongs to a potential suspect and which may have been transferred from someone who was never there. Research from the University of New Hampshire has found a less expensive and easier-to-use test to learn more about forensic touch DNA.
