More to the point, which traces of the body (leg hair, fingernails, earwax, saliva, snot, chapped lip peelings, dislocated eyeballs, etc.) can be used by forensic analysts to identify who is whom?
Anything that has cell nuclei on mitochondria in it. Since you're constantly shedding dead skin cells, that's pretty much everything.
