Skip to 1 minute and 0 secondsDr David, nice to meet you! Nice to meet you. I'm Natsumi. I brought this evidence from the crime scene, and I'd like you to have a look at all of them-- OK. --in the laboratory, please. OK. What we'll do, is we'll have a look at the items you've bought. We'll check them for some sources of DNA, see if we can find any. If we can, we'll then extract that DNA. We'll amplify out the particular areas we're interested in, and then that means that we can search it against the database and see whether we can find a suspect. OK? Well, if you want to follow me, we can get started. Yes please. Thank you. [FOOTSTEPS]
