The use of DNA in forensic entomology refers to the analysis of genetic material found in insect samples to provide information about a crime scene. Synonyms for this term include forensic insect evidence, forensic entomogenetics, and insect DNA analysis. This technique is frequently used in investigating cases such as missing persons, homicide, and other criminal investigations. By analyzing the DNA found in insect specimens, it can be possible to determine time of death or identify suspects in a crime. The combination of genetics and entomology is a powerful tool for forensic investigators to gather evidence and bring criminals to justice.
