Forensic science applies science to the law, often during criminal investigations. Evaluation of DNA is an important tool that can aid in many forensic investigations. Characterizing the DNA from victims or other subjects can be used for various forensic comparisons such as those investigating sexual assault, homicides, and robberies.
As the vast landscape of genetic oncology continues to expand, the ability to understand and utilize the full potential of this rich data becomes increasingly challenging. As a result, resea...

The forensic investigation of crime involves answering four basic questions: who, what, where, and when. Tools exist to answer questions of who, what and where, but the question when is ofte...
Crime scene investigation is more than just processing or documentation of crime scenes, nor is it just the collection or packaging of physical evidence. It is the first step and the most cr...
