In April last year, Himachal Pradesh became the "first state" to create a DNA Database of unidentified bodies. The database would help in the identification of bodies which would turn out to be a big relief for the families searching for their loved ones and running from pillar to post with photographs and other details. DNA samples of the relatives would be matched with the data/samples stored in the DNA profiling database and accurate details would be available within seconds. The database has a capacity of about 20,000 DNA profiles which can be scaled further.
