ABSTRACT: With its approximately 100 percent accuracy in individual identification, the DNA identification technology is widely applied the field of forensic sciences. The accuracy of DNA identification will not be influenced by aberrances in the chromosome configuration or numbers, or the phenomenon of chimera. However, DNA evidences must always be considered within the framework of multiple evidences. DNA identification could perhaps become one of the most powerful tools against crime in forensic sciences. One should not negate the value of DNA identification technology although there have been some cases of mistaken interpretations of DNA evidences.

摘要：随着科学技术的发展，DNA鉴定技术以其强大的同一认定功能被引入法庭科学中。DNA鉴定的精准度极高且染色体结构和数目的异常、嵌合体现象等均不会对其结果产生不利影响。DNA鉴定结论与其他诉讼证据相结合，成为了法庭科学的强有力武器。我们应尊重科学，坚持科学精神，不能因个别的DNA鉴定结论被错误引用而否定DNA鉴定的价值。
