This article explores the history, process, and uses of DNA profiling in the criminal justice system. DNA profiling is a highly advanced scientific technique that utilizes the uniqueness of an individual’s genetic composition for identification purposes. By comparing the DNA found at a crime scene to a suspect’s DNA samples, forensic scientists can determine if there is a match, making it an essential tool in forensic science. The document also discusses the limitations of DNA profiling and provides examples of DNA profiling cases.
Michael Marciano, research assistant professor and director for research in the Forensic and National Security Sciences Institute (FNSSI) within the College of Arts and Sciences, and Jonathan Adelman, research assistant professor in FNSSI, have invented a novel hybrid machine learning approach (MLA) to mixture analysis (U.S. patent number 10,957,421). Their method combines the strengths of current computational and expert analysis approaches with those in data mining and artificial intelligence.
