DNA investigations
To investigate DNA (usually in a forensic context), you must isolate the DNA from the evidence sample and process the sample so DNA codes can be obtained. In a forensic investigation, you would use isolate and test the DNA from a crime scene for comparison with DNA from a suspect.
