Labs may report these two fractions as:
- Male fraction and female fraction (though in a male on male assault, these terms may be misleading).
- Sperm fraction and non-sperm fraction.
- S (sperm) fraction and E (epithelial) fraction.
- Fraction 1 and fraction 2.
Complete separation may not be possible for a variety of reasons. In such cases, one or both fractions may contain a mixture of sperm and non- sperm DNA. This does not necessarily preclude interpretation of results.
Note: the remainder of the module will use the terminology sperm and non-sperm fractions.
