Main Article Content
Abstract
Nowadays, Bioinformatics is applied for the analyses of forensic DNA profile that has become one of the most foremost and significant tools of crime investigations. Bioinformatics have revolutionized the ability to use DNA profile information to link crime scene evidence to perpetrators. The advantages of this technique can be linked to highly effective authentication and identification. According to the standards of the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that DNA bioinformatics can be used for research and forensic science. Trials and tests are used as a sample data to create their own DNA database system before entering the actual data. Currently, some agencies use DNA databases for international DNA comparison searches, such as the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) but many agencies are not members they will not be able to access the system. Therefore, agencies that are not members of the DNA index system will create their own database to use and compare DNA in order not to affect the existing important information. It is necessary to find a source of DNA to create a DNA bioinformatics database system that is accurate and consistent with existing standard verification systems. This article discusses the organizations involved such as organizations that provide reference standards DNA resources used for preliminary research and testing for DNA comparisons. As well as guidance on creating a bioinformatics database of DNA for the organizations are not members of the DNA index system. DNA Database does not deep into technical depth by presenting guidelines for database creation DNA bioinformatics for building a self-organized DNA bioinformatics database.
