Episode 1.1[]
The Home Office's labs identified Rex as a Coelurosauravus from the Permian by taking DNA samples from Rex to analyse.
Episode 1.6[]
After Connor Temple recovered blood in Wellington Zoo's lion enclosure leftover from when a Future Predator had attacked one of the lions, the Home Office analysed the DNA from the blood. The blood was confirmed as coming mostly from the lion and some of it from the Future Predator, but the labs mistook the Predator's DNA for a bat's (due to the Future Predator's chiropteran ancestry giving its DNA a resemblance to a modern bat's DNA, albeit more warped and scrambled).
Episode 3.2[]
Helen Cutter took samples of Nick's DNA, in the forms of his hairs and saliva traces, from his house, and used them with future technology to clone him.
