Can my DNA be rubbed on to something like paper from an item of clothing?

Theoretically yes your DNA could be transfered inthat way but the amounts would be so small, mixed and fragmented they would be of little evidential value. If he has items like a brush though then it is possible that a hair (rich in DNA if it has a root or tissue left on it) could have been left at the scene of crime as planted evidence. Obviously, if it picked up and recorded as relevent evidence is all down to the nature of the crime and the investigating body. Often for smaller offences, DNA evidence is not the first route of enquiry if there is other evidence due to cost and time.\nEven if your DNA is found to be present though i wouldn't worry too much as (assuming you are inocent) it is rare for people to be convicted soley on DNA evidence, or for a case even to get to court on that. DNA can only say that you where in contact with the crime scene not that you did anything (Eg, DNA on a car could say that a certain individual stole the car just as much as it could say that a person sneezed as they walked past it). So as is often said, unless you have something to worry about, don't worry.

NO. DNA can only be used to identify a person or being, or link to two persons/beings together. It can not PROVE a crime was committed.

DNA comparison by electrophoresis. I've seen kits available in school divisions for science classes. On a similar note: paper chromatography to check if the composition of ink between samples are same or different.

as far as i know its used for DNA figerprinting in electophoresis (i didnt spell that right).  basically you use a gel like substance, put DNA fragments in it (mixed w. dye) and put this in a solution and hook the one end of the whole device to a negative battery side or something and the other end to a positive side and the DNA fragments will seperate and u can use it to match up DNA samples w. people etc.

Red, orange and yellow felt squares from the craft store can fairly easily be cut into triangles, and then glued or tacked (with stitches) onto any old pair of jeans or sweats...This will look like flames.\nYou could do a similar effect with crepe paper (perhaps birthday party streamers?).

Try a rough DNA isolation, some things u need are detergent, lemons, and a sample like onion.\n\nSimple diffusion experiments with onions, salt, water, etc..

DNA can trace a long ways back. There are "markers" that persons of the same relation will carrying. one set of markers is for your mothers side and another from your fathers side. if i rememeber right the mothers side is a little eaiser to trace back. :)

once it is deemed trash and thrown out by the person of interest, it no longer (DNA and all) belongs to the person and the police can go trash picking all they want and do whatever with it.  This does run into some seroius ethical issues, so it is not commonly used.

Detection of specific DNA fragments by gel-transfer hybridization (Southern blotting). (A) The mixture of double-stranded DNA fragments generated by restriction nuclease treatment of DNA is separated according to length by electrophoresis. (B) A sheet of either nitrocellulose paper or nylon paper is laid over the gel, and the separated DNA fragments are transferred to the sheet by blotting. The gel is supported on a layer of sponge in a bath of alkali solution, and the buffer is sucked through the gel and the nitrocellulose paper by paper towels stacked on top of the nitrocellulose. As the buffer is sucked through, it denatures the DNA and transfers the single-stranded fragments from the gel to the surface of the nitrocellulose sheet, where they adhere firmly. This transfer is necessary to keep the DNA firmly in place while the hybridization procedure (D) is carrried out. (C) The nitrocellulose sheet is carefully peeled off the gel. (D) The sheet containing the bound single-stranded DNA fragments is placed in a sealed plastic bag together with buffer containing a radioactively labeled DNA probe specific for the required DNA sequence. The sheet is exposed for a prolonged period to the probe under conditions favoring hybridization. (E) The sheet is removed from the bag and washed thoroughly, so that only probe molecules that have hybridized to the DNA on the paper remain attached. After autoradiography, the DNA that has hybridized to the labeled probe will show up as bands on the autoradiograph. An adaptation of this technique to detect specific sequences in RNA is called Northern blotting. In this case mRNA molecules are electrophoresed through the gel and the probe is usually a single-stranded DNA molecule.

Butt Prints will also do, I belive !!! This type of taking impression for ID, we used to do when we were in the  2nd year of  College, where ink used to be applied on the butts and used to ask  the fella to sit on a News paper, and having got the impression on the News paper we used to get his signature of the fella as an endorsement,to dispaly it on Students Notice board at the Hostle.This was done as a part and parcel of ragging !!! Is in't it interesting and funny ! \nDon't bother your socks for the foot prints! You try this , with the advent of new appliances and techniques you can get a desired sized ID print with superfine clarity !!!! Ha Ha Ha ....

Make sure you don't drench your self in it. Then it gets on paper, items, clothes etc.

Well first, I'd say that's not a good idea. So don't do it and it's also illegal.  Second, even if you steamed it open, it would probably wrinkle the envelope and be obvious to the person who it's meant for.
