DNA analysis

2019-04-09 18:43:22.44018+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

So a lot of people are linking to that thread about DNA sequencing fish, and how the electrophoresis suggested that the fish they were served was nothing like what was advertised. And in at least one case salmon purchased from a grocery store matched body louse.

There are two things here: One is that, yes, there's a lot of seafood fraud (though how Red Tuna visually matches Tilapia I'll never know), but the other is: Think about how people take DNA criminal evidence as gospel...
