 DNA

Information at Your Fingertips

At http://www.dna.gov, you will find information about funding, training, publications, and other resources related to how DNA technology can solve crimes, protect the innocent, and identify missing persons. You can also learn more about the President's DNA initiative, "Advancing Justice Through DNA Technology," which seeks to enhance the role of DNA in the criminal justice system by reducing the current backlog of DNA samples, increasing crime lab capacity, and stimulating research and development.
