The Forensic Biology section of NIRCL performs serological and DNA
analyses of physiological fluids for the purpose of identification and
individualization. The type of material typically examined includes, but is not
limited to, blood, semen, and saliva collected at crime scenes and from
articles of physical evidence. These types of physiological fluids are
frequently generated during the commission of violent crimes such as
homicides, rapes, assaults, and hit and run fatalities.
Analysis
The Forensic Biology section performs DNA STR (Short Tandem Repeat)
analysis. STRs offer the advantage of short analysis time, a high degree of
discrimination and the ability to look at small and degraded samples of DNA.
Samples such as small as the tissue adhering to the end of a pulled head
hair, or skin from under the nails of a victim can be compared to possible
contributors.
Crime Scene Analysis
In addition to providing analytical testing utilizing state of the art DNA
technologies, the Forensic Biology section also provides field services to
law enforcement agencies investigating crime scenes. On occasion and
when asked by a police agency, the forensic laboratory will provide
personnel to assist in the detection and collection of biological and trace
evidence at a crime scene.
