The definition provided refers to the field of "Forensic Science." Forensic science is the application of various scientific disciplines to aid in the resolution of legal issues. DNA analysis is one of the most crucial tools in modern forensic science. It involves examining the genetic material found in human cells to identify individuals. Since every person has a unique DNA profile (with the exception of identical twins), analyzing biological samples found at a crime scene (like blood, hair, or skin cells) can help to either implicate or exonerate potential suspects by comparing the found DNA with the DNA of a suspect.
