∙ 13y agoDNA testing has been around since the mid-to-late 1980s, but it was not perfected until the mid-to-late 1990s.
The DNA tests for the O. J. Simpson case were the most famous early use of DNA evidence. Many people heard of DNA testing for the first time from the O. J. case, the verdict of which was decided in 1995.
In the early days, DNA testing was not nearly as sophisticated, and running the tests took a very, very long time. Nowadays, a DNA test can be run in a matter of minutes, but back then, it took weeks to get the results back.

∙ 15y agoDNA has been in living cells for hundreds of millions of years. It was first isolated by the Swiss physician Friedrich Miescher in 1869. Phoebus Levene identified the basic components in 1919. In 1928, discoveries by Frederick Griffith provided the first clear suggestion that DNA carried genetic information. James D. Watson and Francis Crick suggested what is now accepted as the first accurate model of DNA structure in 1953.
