Forensic scientists have developed a test that can match a suspect's DNA to crime scene samples in just four hours.

The new technique could greatly speed up forensic DNA testing, making the process almost as easy as matching fingerprints.

Police could check whether a suspect's DNA matches profiles in a database before a decision is taken on whether to release them from custody.

Researchers describe their approach in the journal Analytical Chemistry.

Their report points out that a large number of individuals re-offend while on police bail.

the USA used to be Number one in new procedures and finds. The problem is our schools suck. And instead of giving money to education the red states are cutting it right and left.
