A total of ten personal tools, rapresented by five wallets and five towels, was typed on blind to evaluate the success rate in DNA recovery. Also, we evaluated the Lewis typing from a blood sample collected from everyone subject tested to understand if it was involved in an increased body secretions. We have shown that there are differences between individuals in their tendency to deposit DNA on an item when it is touched. The findings reported here are preliminary and further investigations are underway in order to further add to understanding of the issues of DNA transfer and persistence.

Abstract
A total of ten personal tools, rapresented by five wallets and five towels, was typed on blind to evaluate the success rate in DNA recovery. Also, we evaluated the Lewis typing from a blood sample collected from everyone subject tested to understand if it was involved in an increased body secretions. We have shown that there are differences between individuals in their tendency to deposit DNA on an item when it is touched. The findings reported here are preliminary and further investigations are underway in order to further add to understanding of the issues of DNA transfer and persistence.File in questo prodotto:
