Did we identify the suspect? Both of my Biotechnology Foundations classes ran the multi-day Forensic DNA Fingerprinting lab. DNA evidence assists in criminal, missing persons, mass disaster, and paternity cases. It can be used to identify a perpetrator or exonerate the innocent. The Biotech students used real DNA as evidence and played the role of crime scene investigator to figure out for themselves “Who done it?” The lab went perfectly and we have definitive results which will be forwarded to the prosecutor.
