"The Evolution of\nForensic DNA Anal ysis: Exploitation of Biological Signatures for Geosourcing\nHigh Value Ta rgets." \;The application and utility of DNA analyses to law\nenforcem ent and national security issues have altered the landscape of\ninvestigat ive and prosecutorial approaches. Those agencies whose primary\nmission is to target and eliminate threats to security have become increasingly\nrel iant on biological targets for establishing the identity of humans and\nin fectious agents. The past decade has been marked by significant\ntechnolog ical advances in the use of DNA-based investigative intelligence\,\nresult ing in more effective means to identify these targets. However\,\nlimitati ons inherent in both communities have hindered the transition of\nnext-gen eration DNA analysis methods. Law enforcement continues to lag behind\nadv ancements in biotechnology due to both resource \;deficiencies \;a nd\nhigh levels of public scrutiny\, whereas defense and intelligence agen cies face\nchallenges in successful technology transition despite active e ngagement in\nresearch and development. A highly disruptive and innovative environment exists\nat the intersection where the needs and limitations o f each group meet\, and the\nresearch community \;consequently \;p lays the role of gatekeeper. \;Research scientists with\na practical k nowledge of the operational complexities faced by the end-users\nmay provi de an optimal setting for successful collaborations and technology\ntransi tions.
