genetic evidence
Hereditary material findings
Genetic evidence is biological material—DNA, chromosomes, genetic markers—used to establish facts in legal, scientific, or historical contexts.
In criminal cases, genetic evidence links suspects to crime scenes or exonerates the wrongly convicted: The genetic evidence proved he wasn't the father.
In research, it traces ancestry, disease inheritance, or evolutionary relationships: Genetic evidence suggests humans and Neanderthals interbred.
