Abstract
Forensic deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) testing has revolutionized crimin
al investigations. Deoxyribonucleic acid testing is superseding tradit
ional serologic testing due to its discriminatory power, universal app
lication to biologic materials, and resistance to environmental insult
s, among other advantages. Its acceptance is becoming commonplace, and
it is being put into widespread use. Forensic DNA testing technology
and its application is continuing to evolve.
