Direct polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, a sample processing method in which an evidence swab or substrate punch is added directly to an amplification reaction without prior extraction or quantification, has been identified as a method that may improve DNA profiles from low-yield touch DNA evidence. Small amounts of DNA left behind when an individual […]
