Abstract In the realm of forensic science, the development of synthetic or fabricated DNA poses significant challenges that bring forth concerns regarding the ethics and reliability of the justice system. This study investigates the viability, methodologies, and forensic complications tied to fabricated DNA evidence. Examples of such fabrication include alterations to forensic databases or the creation of synthetic DNA that closely resembles an individual's genetic makeup. Notable cases, such as the synthetic DNA experiments conducted by Israeli researchers, underscore existing vulnerabilities, while documented incidents of DNA tampering reveal tangible consequences. Additionally, the importance of cybersecurity cannot be overlooked, as digital DNA profiles are susceptible to manipulation. Existing literature emphasizes the ethical considerations and advocates for enhanced forensic protocols, such as the implementation of DNA barcoding and improved laboratory techniques for detecting synthetic DNA. To avert potential misuse and uphold public confidence in DNA evidence, the swift evolution of synthetic DNA calls for greater forensic expertise, collaborative research initiatives, and legislative reforms. As technology continues to advance, it is essential to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the risks associated with DNA fabrication to safeguard the integrity of forensic processes.
Keywords Synthetic DNA, forensic challenges, genetic engineering, DNA fabrication, chain of custody, DNA tampering, cybersecurity, ethical concerns, DNA barcoding, and wrongful convictions.
