DNA Fingerprint
Data
Analysis of Data
The crime scene DNA fingerprint is a match to Suspect 3. The distances of each
band math as well as the sizes are the same. Suspect 3 is Kat Pack.
Interview
I analyzed an interview of Kat Pack since she was a match for the DNA fingerprint.
In the interview, she seemed pretty defensive and tried to blame Dangerkitty. Also,
she said that she went to her lab after the party, meaning that she could have been
fiddling with pathogens or something of that nature. This interview definately
doesnt get her off the hook.
Crime scene 1
Hair on jacket(white)
Human hair also on jacket
Crime scene 2
Station 3
-one newspaper, magazine article, insurance policy, article
Crime scene 4
scene 5
Scene 6
-in the DNA fingerprint it matched 3 Dr. Kat PAk
-A suspect 2 Dr. Thomas Canada , B is suspect 3
-Ab negative blood
antibodies related to certain infectious conditions. Antibodies are proteins that your body produces in response to harmful
substances called antigens.
Electrophoresis: A technique used in DNA fingerprinting and other processes in which large molecules are to be
identified. Fragments of DNA are placed in a semi porous gel, and an electrical field is turned on. The fragments move in
response to the field, with smaller fragments generally moving faster. Aftera time, the fragments have separated enough to
form a series of separated lines like a barcode that characterizes the DNA.
Blood Type: Blood type refers to the surface antigen, or the protein that is present red blood cells. The blood at the
crime scene was AB-.
Information on Pathogens
