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
Cans and Food upon consumption
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
Interacting with devices (doors) in form of access logs

Most interactions will leave some sort of "trace" that someone was there; either your fingerprints and fibers or your DNA itself. In case of doors, the last members interacted with it will leave their ID and timestamp in the device's small memory of 20 users.

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.

Fiber	Corresponding Gloves
Black Insulative Fibers	Combat Gloves
Yellow Insulative Fibers	Insulated Gloves, Budget Insulated Gloves, Unsulated Gloves Fingerless Insulated Gloves
Olive Insulative Fibers	Mercenary Combat Gloves
Black Synthetic Fibers	Black Gloves, Thieving Gloves Fingerless Gloves
Colored Synthetic Fibers	Corresponding colored Gloves.
Black Leather Fibers	Robohands Gloves
Brown Leather Fibers	Botanist's Leather Gloves, Patchwork Gloves
Blue Leather Fibers	Gloves of the North Star
White Leather Fibers	Inspection Gloves
Colored Leather Fibers	Corresponding colored Boxing Gloves.
Durathread Black Fibers	Papercut-proof Gloves
Durathread Regal Blue Fibers	Captain's Gloves
Latex Fibers	Latex Gloves
Nitrile Fibers	Nitrile Gloves
Insulative Nanomachine Fibers	Space Ninja Gloves Power Gloves
Holographic Chameleon Fibers	Chameleon Gloves
Yellow Rubber Fibers	Rubber Gloves
Black Fibers	Tactical Maid Gloves

Access Logs

Opening a door, will register your ID and the time into the log of said door - allowing the detective to scan the logs to see the last 20 people who have interacted with the device. In case no ID was used, it will state "unknown" - this of course is only possible if the electronic in question is all-access.

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.
It would be wise to open all-access doors without an ID - or use a spoofed ID to hide your identity. Once opened however, you would require 20 interactions with the door, either by someone else, or with another / without an ID so your name is deleted from the logs, as it only saves up to 20 entries.

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.

+__TOC__
-=== Tools ===
-When dealing with Forensics, there are two major tools that you are utilizing, the Forensic Analyzer and the Forensic Pad.
-==== Forensic Analyzer ====
-A gadget, that when clicked on an object, allows you to print out a paper with the fingerprints and fibers. Remember to account for the fibers and fingerprints of the person who turned it in, yourself, security officers and any others.
-==== Forensic Pad ====
-A pad that allows you to identify the fingerprint IDs of a person. Remember to take off their gloves!
-Whilst some stations do have consoles that have a list of crew members on station with their fingerprints, it is more reliable to use the forensic pad.
