DNA was first used in 1735, discovered by the Italian Dr Ludo Fontini. It stands for Disambiguated Nuclear Atoms. The case it was first used for was an attemped rape on a 14 year old girl.
the 1980's when when people started using DNA criminal investigation and this Dr never did anything. DNA stands for DeoxyriboNucleicAcid (DNA) look in any Biology book. back then people were still looking at stars and the person who said the above answer is clearly an idiot.

DNA was first used in a criminal case in the United Kingdom in 1986 to secure a conviction in the case of a rape and murder. This marked the beginning of DNA technology revolutionizing criminal investigations and forensics.
Colin Pitchfork was the first criminal convicted using DNA evidence.
He was convicted in 1988 for the rape and murder of two girls in Narbourough England and is now serving a life sentence in prison.
The two victims were:
Lynda Mann: killed in 1983 (age 15)
Dawn Ashworth: killed in 1986 (age 15)
Murder, rape, theft, terrorist threats, paternity tests. Pretty much anything where DNA could be used to positively identify and convict a suspect/criminal.
Yes, DNA fingerprinting is commonly used in forensic investigations to identify or exclude suspects in criminal cases. This technique analyzes unique patterns in an individual's DNA, which can be compared to DNA collected at a crime scene to determine a match.
DNA microarray analysis is a technique used to match up two strands of DNA. It is used in paternity tests and in criminal investigations in which a perpetrator's DNA was found at the crime scene.
Forensic identification: DNA fingerprinting is commonly used in criminal investigations to match suspects to crime scene evidence or to identify victims. Paternity testing: DNA fingerprinting can also be used to determine biological relationships, such as confirming paternity or maternity in cases of disputed parentage.
Fingerprinting was first used as evidence in 1892 when Sir Francis Galton, a British scientist, published a study on the uniqueness and permanence of fingerprints. This marked the beginning of the modern usage of fingerprints for identification and evidence in criminal investigations.
DNA forensic identification is commonly used in criminal investigations to link a suspect to a crime scene or victim. It can also be used to establish biological relationships in cases of disputed parentage or identifying victims in natural disasters or mass casualty events. Additionally, DNA identification has been used to authenticate valuable items or artifacts and to trace the origin of products such as food or textiles.
