DNA Finger Printing


        DNA Fingerprinting

DNA fingerprinting is a method used to identify an individual from 
a sample of DNA by looking at unique patterns in their DNA

The technique used to identify the individual that takes advantage of differences in
DNA sequence. The process of DNA fingerprinting begins by isolating DNA 
from blood, semen, vaginal fluids, hair roots, skin, skeletal remains, or   
elsewhere. After we isolate the DNA and amplify it with PCR. Treat the DNA with 
restriction enzymes e.g. cut DNA at specific sequences, because everyone’s DNA is 
different, so everyone’s DNA will cut at different sites. This results in different 
sized fragments. The different sized fragments are called restriction fragment length
polymorphisms, or RFLPs. We can observe the  different sized fragments in an
experiment that separates DNA based on fragment  size called Gel Electrophoresis.
Similar to RFLPs techniques, there are many other techniques uses in DNA
fingerprinting such as RAPD, SNP, AFLP etc. DNA fingerprints can be used to
determine which  sample e.g. bone fragments belong to which individual.
