System gets millionth DNA profile
WASHINGTON, June 14 (UPI) -- The FBI laboratory has reached a major milestone in sharing information among law enforcement agencies, the bureau announced Friday. Wednesday, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement contributed the 1 millionth DNA profile to the National DNA Index System, known as NDIS. Authorized by the DNA Identification Act of 1994, the national index is administered by the FBI. The National DNA Index System compares DNA profiles associated with a crime scene to DNA profiles collected from known convicted offenders as well as to other crime scene profiles. When the DNA profiles are uploaded to the central lab, they are searched against other DNA profiles submitted by other participating states, the FBI said.
