This laboratory focuses on the forensic applications of DNA by analyzing biological evidence seized by law enforcement in criminal cases. DNA lab staff conduct research to advance DNA typing, provide DNA analysis training to forensic scientists in local crime labs, and coordinate the development of statewide standards in forensic DNA analysis. This laboratory has established CalDNA, a computerized DNA identification data bank to which evidence analysis results can be compared to identify unknown offenders in sexual assault cases and other crimes of violence.
