What happens to DNA evidence? Once DNA is collected, there is a protocol for how the evidence is handled and used in an investigation.

The lab works with law enforcement officials to compare these profiles to the DNA of potential suspects. If the perpetrator is unknown, they may compare the DNA profile against a large database run by the FBI called CODIS, the Combined DNA Index System.
