One of the recommendations of the panel that has attracted the attention of attorneys is that fingerprinting tests showing a phenomenon called band shifting be declared "inconclusive" until laboratories have performed adequate studies on the effect. Band shifting can make two forensic samples from different biological sources appear the same; private companies that perform DNA fingerprinting and the Federal Bureau of investigation have already made attempts to correct for it. But the McKusick panel was not convinced that such attempts protect those accused: a suspect could be wrongly convicted if the "correction" was itself in error.

OBS

The DNA bands in the two samples did not line up exactly.

Sous sa forme la plus simple, le remodelage en fréquence consiste à inverser la fréquence du segment, mais la plupart des systèmes opèrent par décalage ou fractionnement de la fréquence.
