Instead, the computer software in question uses a method known as probabilistic genotyping, designed to test small amounts of DNA and complicated mixtures that often cannot be analyzed by ...
But, when the DNA extracted from the stain was re-examined last year and run through a cutting-edge computer software program that the New Jersey State Police first began using in 2022, a portion ...
His discovery is first put to use in an immigration case, successfully proving the parentage of a young Ghanaian boy and preventing his deportation.
