5 Suspect 3 PCR reaction The DNA standards in Lane 1 make it possible to measure the DNA bands obtained from the PCR reactions. The results of this analysis indicates an identical pattern in Lanes 2 and 4. This is strong evidence that the crime scene DNA and Suspect 2 match. In criminal investigations, several known variable regions in DNA are ana- lyzed to match crime scene and suspect DNAs.
