DNStietueisiin
DNStietueisiin refers to the inclusion and management of DNA profiles in national or regional DNA databases used by law enforcement and forensic science. A DNA profile, typically derived from short tandem repeat loci, is a numerical or coded representation of genetic markers that allows identification or association of biological samples with individuals or with other cases. DNStietueisiin stores such profiles, not raw genetic sequences, and often excludes sensitive phenotypic information. Entries are added from samples collected during investigations, from individuals convicted of offenses, or in some jurisdictions from arrestees or suspects, subject to legal thresholds.
Purposes include linking crime scenes to suspects, exonerating the innocent, and identifying missing persons. Privacy and
