生物材料在法医调查中随处可见。目前，检查的重点主要是人体生物材料，以确定物品之间的联系，并查明人体材料的来源。许多相关证据可能以植物、微生物或非人类动物材料的形式存在，这些材料要么被忽视，要么没有被检查。此外，还有专门针对动物的犯罪，例如濒危物种贸易。本文涵盖了DNA在动物和野生动物犯罪中的许多用途。该文件的范围不包括可能进行的植物学和微生物检查的广泛领域，但将侧重于使用DNA来识别物种或将样本与特定有机体联系起来。
Biological material is found ubiquitously during a forensic investigation. Currently the focus of an examination is primarily on human biological material to provide a link between items and to identify the source of the human material. Much associative evidence may exist in the form of botanical, microbial or non-human animal material that is either overlooked or not examined. Further there are crimes that are specifically against animals, such as the trade in endangered species. This paper covers many of the uses of DNA in animal and wildlife crimes. The scope of the paper does not cover the wide area of botanical and microbial examinations that are possible but will focus on the use of DNA to identify a species or to link a sample to a particular organism.
