Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA profiling has become a widely accepted and reliable method of identifying individuals and is commonly used in criminal investigations to match suspects to crimes or to exonerate individuals who have been wrongly convicted. RNA profiling, protein profiling, and carbohydrate profiling are less commonly used methods and may not be as reliable or established in forensic science. Expert witnesses are also frequently used in criminal trials, but they do not involve physical evidence like DNA profiling.
