DNA Forensic Experts

Bericon Forensics’ DNA forensic experts assist solicitors and courts by analysing DNA evidence, reviewing laboratory results, and preparing clear expert witness reports for criminal and civil proceedings.

They review key aspects of DNA cases:

1. Proper procedures and basis for conclusions
2. DNA sample quality and quantity, including transfer possibilities
3. Potential contribution from close relatives
4. Complexity of DNA test results and its impact on conclusions
5. Effects of uncertain contributor numbers on result reliability

Bericon uses UKAS-accredited facilities for additional testing. Our DNA experts present complex evidence clearly in court, offering objective testimony in criminal and civil cases. DNA profiling can link suspects to crime scenes, but profiles vary in evidential value.

Experienced scientists must critically evaluate DNA evidence, especially for mixed profiles or those obtained using sensitive techniques like Low Copy Number analysis, which may require subjective interpretation.
