How does DNA identification work and how does it help solve forensic cases?

The Bode Technology Group is committed to helping all individuals in the justice system better understand the technology of identification using DNA testing. Bode offers different DNA workshops to educate legal practitioners, DNA analysts, and crime scene responders about DNA identification. We provide resources like Testimony Questions to help attorneys with trial techniques. Additionally we provide a Basic DNA Presentation that could be used in presentations to explain the process and use of DNA identification.

Bode’s training workshops are held at our Lorton, VA facility or at your agency with a minimum number or participants. Please click on the links below for more information
