Forensic DNA typing using STR markers has been performed in the criminal justice system since 1998. At NIST the Human Identity Project Team has been working in support of this community with standard reference materials and the evaluation of new technologies in addition to providing training and validation resources. With the assistance of FBI funding, the DNA Biometrics Project Team is currently evaluating techniques commonly used in the forensic community for application to the field of biometrics.<br/> 聽</p> </div> </div> <div class="nist-block"> <h2 class="nist-block__title">Description</h2> <div class="text-with-summary"> <div class="margin-left-4 margin-bottom-2 align-right"> <figure class="nist-image--lightbox nist-image" data-lightbox="https://www.nist.gov/sites/default/files/styles/2800_x_2800_limit/public/images/mml/bmd/genetics/dna_biometrics_logo_1.jpg?itok=KprHOUeH" data-media-id="206256"> <img src="/web/20240305054244im_/https://www.nist.gov/sites/default/files/styles/480_x_480_limit/public/images/mml/bmd/genetics/dna_biometrics_logo_1.jpg?itok=fVP0fS6D" width="287" height="264" loading="lazy" typeof="foaf:Image"/> <figcaption class="nist-image__caption"> <div data-caption-editable="true" class="nist-image__caption-content"> </div> </figcaption> </figure> </div> <p>Our focus is on developing methods to decrease the time required to perform a DNA test and assisting with the evaluation of new prototype rapid DNA typing instrumentation.
