# not only that
but wouldn't it be hard to find a pure sample? you'd have hair, skin flakes and all sorts of things in there with bits of DNA.
And after multiplying the DNA with PCR it would be impossible to tell which of the strains where from the semen....
well.. you could look at the highest percentages of DNA (as it should be the stuff from the semen)
with the aid of RT PCR, but that would be very expensive indeed.

Paternity tests cost that much, as I understand it.

there would also be a human rights issue with enforcing students to provide a DNA sample with which to compare it against. assuming they dont already have students dna on file.

i think its some student who has got a temporary job in admin and nicked some uni headed paper
