Conclusion
As of the end of 2008 based on the information obtained from 172 INTERPOL member countries:
120 countries using DNA profiling in criminal investigations
54 countries with a national DNA database
At least 16,448,936 DNA profiles
Majority of countries reported to use FBI-CODIS software for their national DNA databases
A majority of the 54 countries with a current national DNA database have implemented database-specific DNA database legislation (28 countries)
The United States of America has the largest national DNA database with at least 6,702,743 profiles
‘Crime Scene’ is the most predominantly used profiling category, however, ‘Reference’ profiles equal 92% of the global total profiles
27 member countries outsource their DNA sample analysis
Identifiler, used the most in two of the five global regions (Asia & South Pacific and North Africa & Middle East) is the most predominantly used marker system
The benefits of DNA profiling at a national level are recognized by all countries using, or planning to use DNA profiling as a forensic technique.

November 2005 - FBI – CODIS
Agreement between INTERPOL Lyon and the FBI regarding the amendment of the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System software.
The CODIS version 5.7.3 called “INTERPOL Export Tool” will facilitate the extraction of DNA profiles by member countries ready for data input into the Interpol DNA Gateway.
