DNA Development and its Importance

As we all are aware now the discovery of DNA is the most signifi cant biological discovery of the 20th century. This discovery has had a tremendous impact on science and medicine. In the fi eld of modern medicine and geneti c research, the discovery of DNA has allowed for the improved ability to diagnosis disease, detect geneti c predispositi on to disease, create new drugs to treat disease, use gene therapy as treatment, and design “custom drugs ” based on individual geneti c profi les. In criminal investi gati ons, DNA has proven to be a powerful tool. Since no two people, excluding identi cal twins, can have similar DNA, the identi fi cati on of a off ender person through DNA analyzes is more than indubitable. DNA can be used successfully on victi ms identi fying process. Identi fying the victi ms of the September 11, 2001, World Trade Center att ack presented a unique forensic challenge because the number and identi ty of the victi ms were unknown and many victi ms were represented only by bone and ti ssue fragments. Today with the creati on of a common space as the European Union, new opportuniti es and requirements needs among states to make possible the collaborati on as valid and eff ecti ve against crime or terrorism is more necessary. For this reason arises the idea of exchange of geneti c informati on between them for Law Enforcement Operati ons which is supported on the AIA’s agreement for a greater security among states space
