Swabbing firearms for handler's DNA.

Journal of forensic sciences - 1 Jul 2011

Richert Nicholas J

Abstract excerpt

Obtaining quality DNA profiles from firearms can be instrumental in assisting criminal investigations. Typically, swabbings of firearms for handler's DNA are conducted on specific regions of the firearm prior to submission to the laboratory for analysis. This review examines and compares 32 cases whose gun swabbings were either analyzed individually according to the specific region which was swabbed, or analyzed...
