Forensic Biology (DNA)
The Forensic Biology section of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation performs serological and DNA analyses of physiological fluids for the purpose of identification and individualization. The type of material typically examined includes, but is not limited to blood, semen, saliva and dental pulp collected at crime scenes and from articles of physical evidence. These types of physiological fluids are frequently generated during the commission of violent crimes such as homicides, rapes, assaults, and hit and run fatalities. The GBIs ultimate goal is to identify what type of material is present and then, through the use of DNA analysis, link that material to a specific person
