Abstract

“Touch DNA” is a DNA obtained from biological material transferred from a source to an object or a person during physical contact. Touch DNA came into notice after the research work of Ronald van oorschot, he focused on DNA from fingerprint. We usually use the “Swabbing” and “cutting out” Technique for collection of Touch DNA. Organic method of extraction is most favoured, followed by RT-PCR for quantitation of DNA. Belonging’s used in day-to-day life holds an ample amount of DNA like Brush, Smart phone, Mask, Toothpicks etc, which is quite sufficient to generate a DNA profile of any individual. It can be a very valuable source to establish the identity and individuality of any person in the field of forensic science.
