DNA Fingerprinting

” DNA fingerprinting, also known as DNA profiling or genetic fingerprinting, is a sophisticated genetic identification technique that analyzes specific regions of an individual’s DNA, known as short tandem repeats (STRs), to create a unique genetic profile. This profile can be used for various purposes, including molecular diagnostics, forensics investigations, paternity testing, and genealogical research, due to its ability to distinguish individuals based on their distinct DNA patterns.”

The precision and reliability of DNA fingerprinting have revolutionized genetics, molecular diagnostics and forensic science, providing an indispensable tool for identifying individuals and establishing relationships based on their genetic makeup.

Steps:-

  • The process commences with the extraction of DNA from biological samples such as blood, hair or body fluids etc.
  • Short tandem repeats (STRs) are amplified using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). These STRs are sequences of DNA with repeating patterns, and the number of repetitions can differ from person to person, resulting in a distinct genetic signature.
  • Following the PCR amplification, the DNA fragments are separated and analyzed through capillary electrophoresis.
