• CODIS: Enter eligible and suitable forensic profiles into the DNA database for comparisons to offenders and other forensic samples
• DNA Analysis: Development of DNA profiles from evidence and comparison to known DNA standards to determine the source of a sample
• Unidentified Remains and Missing Persons: DNA profiles from unidentified remains or missing persons and their relatives may be entered into the DNA database
