"In the last 25 years, DNA has become a tool of unparalleled power, solving the coldest cases and overturning guilty verdicts. But a new process for analyzing DNA using computers means we have to re-think our DNA system."

"Most people think that DNA is analyzed during the commercial break, that DNA’s are swabbed, they go to a laboratory, and they’re just done a few minutes later. What actually happens is, a crime lab can take anywhere from days to weeks to process the data, but what they’ve now done, is they’ve taken a DNA sample to produce data. Taking that data and interpreting it is the other half of the problem that people don’t realize exists and for DNA mixtures that is most of the problem. Because it’s not like your grandmother’s DNA, where there’s just one person present and there’s an obvious answer in the data. Instead, what you have is mixtures and mixed signals."

"When the labs use their current interpretation approaches—when they’re trying to get DNA identification information from this DNA [data] that’s already been paid for—their current approaches are very limited."
