DNA typing is used for paternity or criminal cases, there is almost always a

Although there have been successfully prosecuted murder cases in which a body

in which DNA played an integral part.

match occurring by chance alone.
Provided that the testing laboratory has followed the practiced standards in the field of forensic DNA typing, there is no reason to doubt the accuracy of the results obtained.
