  DNA Evidence Can Be Fabricated, Scientists Show

  Scientists in Israel have demonstrated that it is possible to
  fabricate DNA evidence, undermining the credibility of what has been
  considered the gold standard of proof in criminal cases.

  The scientists fabricated blood and saliva samples containing DNA
  from a person other than the donor of the blood and saliva. They
  also showed that if they had access to a DNA profile in a database,
  they could construct a sample of DNA to match that profile without
  obtaining any tissue from that person.

Verdien av et DNA-register for bevisførsel er dermed sterkt forringet.
