Abstract

Forensics deals with the scientific methods to gather information at a crime scene for solving criminal actions. DNA forensics uses genetic material for these purposes. DNA fingerprinting is established as an important method for police detective work since the end of the 1980s. Currently, DNA forensics faces completely new possibilities through the application of more efficient high-throughput sequencing methods, summarized as Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). Using NGS it could be possible to predict numerous externally visible characteristics including the complete facial shape of an unknown perpetrator. This article aims at presenting practices of forensic DNA analyses used to date and extending the picture for future possibilities and challenges.
