If all those markers have been found, we could edit our kids to look however we want.

Neat...

imagine the future where cops are at a murder scene, and one of them is like, "the killer left behind no evidence except for a piece of chewed up gum...nice"

With help from Genspace, she learned how to isolate DNA from the items she picked up, and amplify certain parts of it using the same type of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) process that forensic scientists use to find a match between a suspect and crime scene evidence. In that situation, they would focus on regions of DNA that are usually different between people, and compare them to see if theyre the same.

But creating a likeness of someones face based on segments of found DNA is not nearly as straightforward. Dewey-Hagborg used PCR to amplify certain regions of the DNA that are associated with visible traits, such as eye color or nose size, for example. She would send these samples to a lab to read the DNA sequence - the order of As, Cs, Gs and Ts that make up the genetic code - and then look up which trait was associated with that particular genetic variant.

RT-PCR is the most commonly-used diagnostic test. It typically has high sensitivity and specificity in a laboratory setting: however, in one study sensitivity dropped to 6688% clinically.
In one study sensitivity was highest at week one (100%), followed by 89.3%, 66.1%, 32.1%, 5.4% and zero by week six.
Sensitivity is also a function of the number of PCR cycles, as well as time and temperature between sample collection and analysis. A cycle threshold of 20 cycles would be adequate to detect SARS-Cov-2 in a highly infective person. Cycle thresholds above 34 are increasingly likely to give false positives outside of high biosafety level facilities.
