In the same year, PCR technology was founded, which opened the prelude to the rapid development of DNA analysis technology. With the continuous discovery of various new technologies derived from PCR and new DNA genetic markers, DNA analysis techniques are constantly updated, and some trace, corrupt and even polluted samples.
It can quickly realize the same identification, greatly improve the utilization rate of biological evidence on the spot, and become a powerful weapon to identify crimes. Forensic DNA database combines the high individual specificity of DNA with the high efficiency of computer information analysis, which greatly expands the scope of investigation.
It saves resources in handling cases, improves work efficiency, fully demonstrates the technical effectiveness of DNA, and embodies the powerful advantages of high-tech crime investigation, which has become the biggest breakthrough since the application of fingerprint technology in the 20th century.
