Abstract: The present invention provides a synthetic nucleic acid for use in methods for interrogating samples suspected of comprising trace DNA. The present invention is especially concerned with forensic analysis of trace DNA, and especially methods and products for achieving collection, extraction and amplification of trace DNA samples capable of limiting the loss of the trace DNA, whilst improving the amplification and the subsequent likelihood of achieving positive sequencing of the trace DNA.
