What leaves evidence?
- Body parts inherit their owner's DNA
- Implanters upon injecting or drawing
- Syringes upon injecting or drawing
- Hyposprays upon injecting
- Medipens upon injecting
- Cigarettes/cigars/pipes upon putting in your mouth
- Blunt/Slashing/piercing melee weapons on hitting someone
- Puddles of blood
- Touching items, doors and any equipment
Most interactions will leave some sort of "trace" that someone was there; either your fingerprints or your DNA itself.
Fingerprints
Many interactions with and between crew members, items, doors, machinery, and many other things leave behind fingerprints, which can naturally be traced:
- Picking up and using items
- Operating computers and other machinery
- Bumping into or clicking on doors to open/close them
- Pulling objects or bodies
- etc.
Fibers and Gloves
If you aren't given a fingerprint on the Forensic Analyzer, you can still help identify suspects with fibers.
It is to note that fingerless gloves leave fingerprints AND fibers.

Evildoers: How to get rid of evidence?
It is possible to wipe off fingerprints/DNA/fibers using soap or a rag, should you need to clear your tracks. Rags will leave a fiber, and soap will leave a residue, to hint that the object was unusually cleaned.
The main barrier between you and a clean get-away, will be the Detective, who's Forensic Scanner is the main tool to discover left-behind forensics.
