Forensic Dna Fingerprinting
Forensic DNA fingerprinting is a type of biometric technology used to identify and match unique patterns of DNA from a given sample of tissue, blood, or other sample. It is used by law enforcement to link possible suspects to evidence from a crime scene, or to create a unique identification profile, or "fingerprint", of an individual for identification purposes. The technology is also used for paternity testing and for matching victims to organ donors. By comparing cellular material obtained from a crime scene to profiles of known suspects, forensic DNA fingerprinting helps law enforcement to investigate and prosecute criminal cases. It is a powerful tool for providing evidentiary support when traditional investigative techniques have failed.
