Forensic DNA

The document summarizes DNA evidence and forensic DNA processes. It discusses the history of the Philippine National Police Forensic DNA Laboratory from 1988 to 2014. It also describes nuclear DNA and mitochondrial DNA, noting that mitochondrial DNA passes maternally and can be used when nuclear DNA is unavailable. The document then briefly outlines DNA evidence collection procedures and terms like STR profiling, latent prints, and evidence release timelines.
