Description

DISENTANGLING DNA
Orkney Theatre, KGS, Kirkwall
Tinier and tinier quantities of DNA can now be detected – giving forensic scientists a problem: a crime scene may have traces of people who have never been there. To what extent can DNA be transferred from place to place, and how can different traces be sifted out? Dr Alexander Gray from the Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science in Dundee describes the challenges. There were 40 attendees.
