The TrueAllele criminal justice story presented at Duquesne University

What is DNA identification? When does DNA interpretation fail? How does TrueAllele® computing overcome pervasive failure? Why is DNA success needed for criminal justice and protecting the public?

Dr. Mark Perlin's talk on "Detecting and denying DNA evidence: a history of forensic identification" answers these questions. Drawing on criminal rape and murder cases, he shows how DNA failure takes innocent lives.

Watch his YouTube talk given at Duquesne University's June "Pioneers of Forensic Science" Wecht Institute conference honoring Dr. Henry Lee.
