You leave your DNA behind you everywhere you go. The strands of hair, fingernails, dead skin and saliva you shed as you move through your day are all collectible trails of DNA. Genetic analysis can reveal not only personal information, such as existing health conditions or risk for developing certain diseases, but also core aspects of a person’s identity, such as their ancestry and the potential traits of their future children.

— Human DNA can be sequenced from small amounts of water, sand and air in the environment to potentially extract identifiable information like genetic lineage, gender, and health risks

Every cell of the body contains DNA. Because each person has a unique genetic code, DNA can be used to identify individual people. Typically, medical practitioners and researchers obtain human DNA through direct sampling, such as blood tests, swabs or biopsies. However, all living things, including animals, plants and microbes, constantly shed DNA. The water, soil and even the air contain microscopic particles of biological material from living organisms. DNA that an organism has shed into the environment is known as environmental DNA, or eDNA. Genetic sequencing technology used to decode DNA has improved rapidly in recent years, and it is now possible to easily sequence the DNA of every organism in a sample from the environment.

— Identifiable information can be extracted from eDNA, and accessing this level of detail about individuals or populations comes with responsibilities relating to consent and confidentiality.

Scientists with the Forensic Biology discipline examine evidence for the presence of body fluids such as blood and semen then conduct DNA analysis on the evidence containing these body fluids. DNA profiles generated from evidence can then be compared to DNA samples from victims and other subjects involved in a case. Forensic Biology analyzes evidence from a wide range of cases, including property crimes as well violent crimes such as sexual assaults, homicides, and robberies.

When a hospital, clinic, laboratory, or other non-law enforcement entity has collected a DNA sample from a person for a purpose other than a criminal investigation, law enforcement should not obtain or otherwise have access to that sample without the consent of the person who is the source of the sample, unless authorized by a judicial order under the conditions provided in Standard 2.2, or by search warrant.

A DNA sample should not be collected from the body of a person without that person’s consent, unless authorized by a search warrant or by a judicial order.

DNA Identification Act of 1994

The DNA Identification Act of 1994 authorized the establishment of a national index of: (1) DNA identification records of persons convicted of crimes, (2) analyses of DNA samples recovered from crime scenes, and (3) analyses of DNA samples recovered from unidentified human remains. DNA data is confidential. Access is restricted to criminal justice agencies for law enforcement identification purposes. Defendants are also permitted access to the samples and analyses performed in connection with their cases. If all personally identifiable information is removed, DNA profile information may be accessed by criminal justice agencies for a population statistics database, for identification research and protocol development purposes, or for quality control purposes. The unauthorized disclosure of DNA data in the National DNA database is subject to a criminal penalty not to exceed $250,000.

Act Requirements:

Laboratories participating in the National DNA Index comply with the Quality Assurance Standards issued by the FBI Director; That the laboratories submitting the DNA records are accredited by a nonprofit professional association of persons actively engaged in forensic science that is nationally recognized within the forensic science community; That the laboratories submitting the DNA records undergo an external audit every two years to demonstrate compliance with the FBI Director’s Quality Assurance Standards; That the laboratories are federal, state, or local criminal justice agencies (“or the Secretary of Defense in accordance with section 1565 of title 10, United States Code”); and That access to the DNA samples and records is limited in accordance with federal law.

Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act

Title II of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) protects individuals against employment discrimination on the basis of genetic information. GINA covers employers with 15 or more employees, including state and local governments. It also applies to employment agencies, labor organizations, joint labor-management training and apprenticeship programs, and the federal government.

Genetic information means:

Information about an individual's genetic tests; Information about the genetic test of a family member; Family medical history; Requests for and receipt of genetic services by an individual or a family member; and Genetic information about a fetus carried by an individual or family member or of an embryo legally held by an individual or family member using assisted reproductive technology.

While both involve analyzing DNA, "DNA profiling" is used to identify a specific individual by examining their unique DNA sequence, typically in forensic investigations, while "DNA barcoding" aims to identify a species by comparing a short, standardized section of DNA to a reference database, allowing for species identification across a wide range of organisms; essentially, profiling focuses on individuals, while barcoding focuses on species identification.

DNA profiling looks at a large, variable region of DNA to generate a unique profile, whereas DNA barcoding analyzes a specific, short gene region (the "barcode") that is relatively conserved within a species

DNA fingerprinting (also called DNA profiling) is a laboratory technique used to determine the probable identity of a person based on the nucleotide sequences of certain regions of human DNA that are unique to individuals. The profile of repetitive regions in a DNA sample resembles a barcode, with each bar representing a stretch of repetitive DNA. Because no two people (except identical twins) have the same set of repetitive regions, each person has a unique DNA fingerprint.

DNA fingerprinting is used in many applications, including criminal investigations, paternity testing, immigration eligibility, genealogical and medical research, and studying animal and plant populations.

DNA fingerprinting is a method of identifying a specific person, organism or disease based on only a small amount of genetic material. While about 99.9 percent of the DNA between two unrelated humans is the same, that still leaves around three million base pairs that are different. And within that potentially identifying dataset, certain short segments of DNA sequences are much more likely than others to vary in composition from person to person.

DNA barcoding is a method of specimen identification using short, standardized segments of DNA. Every species has its own barcode, just as every person has their own fingerprint. These DNA barcodes can be compared to a reference library to provide an ID.

Human eDNA could present significant advances to research in fields as diverse as conservation, epidemiology, forensics and farming. If handled correctly, human eDNA could help archaeologists track down undiscovered ancient human settlements, allow biologists to monitor cancer mutations in a given population or provide law enforcement agencies useful forensic information. However, there are also myriad ethical implications relating to the inadvertent or deliberate collection and analysis of human genetic bycatch.

Identifiable information can be extracted from eDNA, and accessing this level of detail about individuals or populations comes with responsibilities relating to consent and confidentiality.
