Reouven Berdugo, Israel Defense Forces Genomic Laboratory for Casualty Identification director, pipettes mixing beads into individual samples during a purification step of the Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) process, in the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory of the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System at Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, Nov. 25, 2025. Berdugo and his colleague were at AFDIL to gain insight into the SNPs process to help determine the identity of individuals using highly degraded samples recovered from past conflicts. The beads are crucial to the purification step, used to separate DNA from other components that are not desired in the reaction. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Noah D. Coger)
