Is DNA analysis, considered the "decisive evidence" in court, truly absolutely reliable? Or is it possible to influence its results? These questions are of serious interest to the public, especially in high-profile criminal cases.

Effect.uz journalist Kholida Yoldosheva spoke with Asilbek Normatov, laboratory head at the Khadicha Sulaymonova Republican Center of Forensic Expertise, to find answers to such public questions.

There are many questions among the public regarding DNA expertise, which is recognized as "decisive evidence" in judicial and investigative processes. Especially in high-profile criminal cases, paternity determination, and situations related to the fate of missing persons, the issue of trust in DNA results acquires even greater relevance.

At the same time, questions such as "Can DNA expertise be falsified?", "How independent are the experts?", and "Can there be external influence on the results?" are frequently encountered in society.

During the interview, the process of conducting DNA expertise, its impartiality, the reliability of the results, and important aspects from the perspective of human rights were discussed in detail.
