DNA has been called the fingerprints of today. DNA records are kept of people arrested today in most areas in the US. A Federal database is used to maintain this. In combination with DNA obtained at a crime scene, the DNA database or DNA testing of a suspect provides proof of a connection as a part of the investigation.
