AbstractDNA is present in most of the cells in our body, which is unique in each and every individual, and we leave a trail of it everywhere we go. This has become an advantage for forensic investigators who use DNA to draw conclusion in identification of victim and accused in crime scenes. This review describes the use of genetic markers in forensic investigation and their limitations.

On October 27, 1972, a discussion on Education in Forensic Science took place at the Police College, Bramshill. Dr. Saunders, President of Magdalene College, Cambridge, and Chairman of the Forensic Science Sub-Committee of the Home Office Scientific Advisory Committee, was in the Chair. There was no general agreement — indeed hardly any proposition went unchallenged — and the Chairman undoubtedly judged the sense of the meeting when he decided not to take a vote on anything. This is an attempt to set down (without attribution) some of the points that were made.
