DNA profiling One example of a well established, highly validated forensic science technique is DNA profiling, which involves comparing the DNA of a suspect to that found at a crime scene.

How do forensic scientists use DNA? Every human has unique DNA (except for identical twins who share the same DNA, as they both came from the same initial cell).

A former Washington State Patrol Crime Lab employee’s DNA was found on Ruby Doss’ shirt and jacket after he examined the items without gloves, a forensic scientist testified Tuesday.
