Abstract excerpt

DNA evidence frequently plays an important role in criminal investigations and in some cases may be the only means of convicting a suspect. The constant improvement of DNA analysis techniques affords the individualization of minute amounts of DNA, aggravating the risk of contamination artifacts. In our study, we investigated the prevalence of DNA contamination in the autopsy facilities of the Institutes of Legal...
