Definitions for "TWGDAM"
the Technical Working Group on DNA Analysis Methods (TWGDAM) was the one of several technical working groups sponsored by the FBI to examine DNA's forensic science applications. TWGDAM was established in 1989 with representatives from 12 laboratories, and focused specifically on the development of forensic DNA methods. Later that same year, TWGDAM developed and published a set of quality guidelines for forensic DNA laboratories, and updated those guidelines in 1991 and in 1995.
