L'analyse d'un échantillon d'ADN recueilli sur le lieu d'un crime ne suffit pas à identifier le porteur de cet ADN; il faut comparer cet échantillon à un autre que l'on sait provenir de la personne en question. Il arrive qu'un suspect fournisse volontairement un échantillon de son ADN pour qu'on établisse son innocence, mais le plus souvent, l'échantillon de référence doit être prélevé sans le consentement de la personne. C'est pourquoi, il faut une autorisation, découlant de cadres législatifs, permettant ainsi de prélever des échantillons d'ADN de référence aux fins judiciaires. 2, record 2, French, - %C3%A9chantillon%20d%27ADN%20de%20r%C3%A9f%C3%A9rence
