Walk with Criminalist Alicia Morakis as she leads you through the DNA analysis process, beginning with extracting DNA from samples collected during a medical forensic examination.
When analysis is complete, see how DNA profiles are compared in CODIS, the FBI’s national DNA database, and what happens when they result in a DNA hit.
