In the morning, there is condensation on the inside of the window.

Can my DNA be found in the droplets ?
This is a very curious question indeed.
I must ask...what caused this thought?
Are you writing a movie or something? God I hope so.

To be perfectly honest with you, I have never heard or thought of this
DNA possibility.

It seems possible that you can find DNA anywhere. Even a tiny piece of dandruff
contains your unique strand, however, I'm not too sure how evaporating perspiration
would stand up in court.

Very thought-provoking.

Sounds like a CSI script.

To be honest when the condensation dries any DNA strands that were there will be left on the window. Therefore you have to think of all the other people that have been in the room that might have left their DNA on the window too. So, if, in window condensation, there is DNA it's probably not all yours...
