Rapid DNA or Rapid DNA Analysis
Q: What is Rapid DNA or Rapid DNA analysis?
A: Rapid DNA describes the fully automated (hands free) process of developing a CODIS Core STR profile from a reference sample buccal swab. The “swab in – profile out” process consists of automated extraction, amplification, separation, detection and allele calling without human intervention.
Q: What is the Rapid DNA Index System (RDIS)?
A: RDIS is the proposed fourth tier of NDIS; a fully integrated system capable of performing reference sample buccal swab STR analysis in 1-2 hours and initiating DNA searches from a police booking station.

BBM- Had to look up buccal swab. It appears to come from inside the cheek. Can they also do this with bones?
Here is what I am wondering. LE said they did not think they would find more bones. I have to go back and look at that trajectory diagram. But perhaps the bones located on Middle Mountain are the end of the trajectory, not the beginning? Just thinking about the dogs hit on that side of the lake and the very concentrated spot that LE searched when the spring thaw came.
