Improving Analysis of “Trace DNA” Evidence
Researchers try a new way to maximize DNA in low-yield situations and reduce costs.
Determining the Age of a Sample Using RNA Sequencing
The forensic power of DNA is clear, but biological evidence also contains RNA, another potential source of information. Because RNA decomposes quickly, its utility is considered limited. Could this decomposition provide information about a sample’s age?

Linking Suspects to Crime Scenes with Particle Populations
Two researchers with a long record of research into the forensic value of very small particle populations examined cell phones, handguns, drug packaging, and ski masks from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office to determine if such particles can make phys
