Overview

Genetic fingerprinting is a scientific method of identifying an individual's genetic code by analysing a sample of their DNA. A genetic fingerprint is a specific pattern of nucleotides (the building blocks of DNA) that is unique to each individual. It can be used to identify individuals with a high degree of accuracy, making it invaluable for forensic science and criminal investigations. It can also be used to diagnose genetic diseases, trace ancestry, and predict the effectiveness of certain medical treatments. Genetic fingerprinting is a powerful tool for providing reliable, objective evidence for a broad range of applications.
