This article analyses the role of infrastructures in the ‘bioinformational turn’ in forensic science and examines processes through which evidence is constituted, validated, or challenged in and through domains of expertise that engage different techniques, data, objects and knowledges through infrastructural arrangements. While the digitisation of the infrastructures that underpin forensic service delivery promised connectivity, prosperity and wellbeing, in reality it also brought forward new levels of risk and vulnerability, generating new tensions and frictions in the body politic. As genetic science reaches post-archival horizons through new genetic sequencing technologies, forensic science in post-archival times raises questions concerning the differential impact of the fragmentation of analytical and archival infrastructures and increasingly asynchronous bureaucracies whose role is displaced by the relative autonomy of datasets and computational architectures that elude governance oversight and citizens’ scrutiny.

档案、承诺、价值观：紧缩时期的法医基础设施

本文分析了基础设施在法医科学“生物信息转向”中的作用，并研究了在通过基础设施安排使用不同技术、数据、对象和知识的专业知识领域中和通过这些过程来构成、验证或挑战证据的过程。虽然支撑法医服务交付的基础设施数字化带来了连通性、繁荣和福祉，但实际上它也带来了新的风险和脆弱性，在政治机构中产生了新的紧张和摩擦。随着基因科学通过新的基因测序技术达到档案后的视野，
