§ 1 — Introduction Standards DNA analysis and interpretation- Source level (001.1)

Introduction

Within the field of DNA analysis and interpretation – Source level (hereinafter: DNA – Source level), the following questions are relevant:

1. Are biological traces present on the exhibit and what is the nature of the cellular material in the biological trace?

Is it a classical biological trace, such as blood, semen, saliva or hair (source level), or is it cellular material (sub source level), the nature of which cannot yet be identified using current techniques, as is the case with biological contact traces (skin cells)?

Answering this question requires knowledge and experience of presumptive testing. It concerns identification and classification.

2. From whom does the biological trace originate i.e. who is the donor of the cellular material?

This question concerns individualisation. Answering this question requires knowledge of and experience with DNA profiling and statistical evaluation, including knowledge of the legal status and working procedures concerning national DNA databases for criminal cases, among which, criteria for inclusion and removal of DNA profiles, criteria for matching, and inclusion of and comparison with partial DNA profiles and mixed DNA- profiles.

3. How was the biological material deposited?

Is there a relationship between the trace and the criminal activity; and, are there (alternative) explanations as to how the trace came to be at the given location?

This question concerns association and reconstruction. Answering this question requires knowledge of issues of transfer and persistence.
