Abstract

The systematic review analyzed the advancement of medical forensics in forensic DNA, highlighting its importance in identifying victims and solving crimes. The research, based on articles from PubMed, revealed that the integration of forensic anthropology and the use of genetic databases have improved accuracy and identification capacity. Despite the advances, challenges such as the interpretation of DNA mixtures and ethical issues still need to be addressed to maximize the effectiveness of these techniques.
