The current level of scientifi c knowledge and understanding of the genome, as well as the level of human computational capabilities, form new, so-called «post-genomic technologies» for genome research. The results of such studies can be used in diff erent areas of human life and society, for example in criminology, including solving crimes. And there may be both positive and negative legal consequences. Genetic research is an extremely useful tool for crime investigation. But it is still unclear to what extent law enforcement agencies should be able to obtain genetic data stored in public and private databases, and how this may aff ect human rights in the future.
