• Keywords : DNA Fingerprinting, Forensic.
• DNA Fingerprinting, the latest technique developed in the field of Forensic Medicine is widely used presently all over the globe. ... DNA is more stable to environmental degradation, which includes temperature, time, humidity (which leads to the growth of microorganisms), and exposure to UV, sunlight and various chemical substances. Moreover, DNA is somatically stable which means, it generates the same genetic pattern irrespective of the biological material used like hair, seminal stain, fresh blood, soft tissue, hard tissue etc. In fact, this unique feature of DNA makes it a powerful tool, particularly in forensic identification. ... Alec Jeffrey’s, while studying the myoglobin gene, a protein that stores oxygen in the muscle, discovered that certain regions of DNA showed variations in the number of tandem repeats which are known as, Variable Number of Tandem Repeats (VNTR). It was observed that these VNTR’s appear as repeated over and over again next to each other and the number of these repeated sequences present in a sample differs from an individual to individual, thus producing unique patterns like fingerprints, named it as DNA fingerprint. DNA fingerprints are actually genetic pattern determined from an individuals genetic material i. ... DNA and are transmitted from parents on the theory based on Mendelian law of inheritance. ... Actually, over 99% of all 3 billion nucleotides in human DNA which one inherits from one’s parents are identical among all individuals but for every 1000 nucleotides there is a site of variation of polymorphism in the population which makes one individual different form another except monozygotic twins.

• Preliminary DNA tests show that Simpson's blood matches that found at the crime scene. ... In the pre-trail admissability hearings Simpson's defense will argue that there is in fact not a scientific consensus about the use of DNA fingerprinting in the courtroom. ...
• There's no denying that controversies have abounded over the last few years over the forensic use of DNA fingerprinting. ...
• But for starters, I'd best explain what a DNA fingerprint is. ...
• Let's start with a traditional fingerprint. No two individuals have an identical fingerprint, not even identical twins. ... But fingerprints are not always retrievable from a crime scene, so forensic science has sought to take advantage of another unique characteristic of a human being, the genetic blueprint as carried by the DNA of each cell. ...
• But it is far beyond the bounds of feasibility that one could get a readout of the entire DNA sequence from a forensic sample. ...
• So DNA researchers have worked out the next best thing. A DNA fingerprint samples an individual's DNA sequence. If we think of a person's genetic blueprint as a text, then the DNA fingerprint is like a sampling of the first word that might occur on say pages 16, 48, 123 and 200. ... At certain locations of the genetic blueprint, the DNA sequence is known to vary greatly from person to person. ... A DNA fingerprint is generated by sampling the person's DNA at four to six of these markers to build up a distinctive profile. But is the DNA fingerprint unique? In most cases it is not. To calculate the rarity of the fingerprint, one has to know the frequency with which each type of marker occurs in the population. ...

• A Brief Tour of DNA fingerprinting.
• Although the structure of DNA is the same throughout all species of plants, animals and microorganisms, each individual organism looks different. This is due to the sequence of the base pairs of the DNA. ... The sequence of DNA differs from person to person, but every cell within the same person contains the same sequence of DNA. ...
• But, the human genome contains about 3 billion base pairs of DNA. ...
• On some human chromosomes, there are long sequences of repeated DNA sequences (9 to 80 base pairs long). ... Within the VNTRs there are sites where an enzyme can cut the DNA, and the location of these sites also varies from person to person. Cutting with the enzyme will lead to DNA fragments of different lengths, called Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLPs). These DNA fragments can be separated on an agarose gel based on their size. The RFLPs can be seen by probing using complementary radioactive DNA. ...
• html for an excellent interactive demonstration of the steps involved in making a DNA fingerprint and using it to solve a crime.
• DNA fingerprinting can be used to identify a child’s parents. ...
• After amplifying the VNTR DNA from each member of the family, it is cut with a restriction enzyme and run on an agarose gel. ...
• DNA fingerprints can be used to determine the identity of a child’s parents if they are unknown. ... In the previous example, if the father of daughter 2 could have been the dad in the example, the DNA fingerprinting would prove that he isn’t, since none of his RFLPs line up with the daughters. DNA fingerprinting can also prove the identities of biological parents in the case of adoption.

• Restriction Enzyme Analysis of DNA.
• Restriction Enzyme Analysis of DNA- Student Handout .
• Restriction enzymes (or restriction endonucleases) cleave DNA in a very specific fashion. Type II restriction enzymes, most commonly used for DNA analysis and genetic engineering, each have a unique nucleotide sequence at which it cuts a DNA molecule. A particular restriction enzyme will cleave DNA at that recognition sequence and nowhere else. The recognition sequence is often a six base pair palindromic sequence (the top DNA strand from 5' to 3' is the same as the bottom DNA strand from 5' to 3'), but others recognize four or even eight base pair sequences.
• Restriction enzymes can also differ in the way they cut the DNA molecule. ... Other enzymes cleave in a staggered fashion, resulting in DNA products that have short single-stranded overhangs (usually two or four nucleotides) at each end. ...
• A common use for restriction enzymes is to generate a "fingerprint" of a particular DNA molecule. Because of the sequence specificity of restriction enzymes, these enzymes can cut DNA into discrete fragments which can be resolved by gel electrophoresis. This pattern of DNA fragments generates a "DNA fingerprint," and each DNA molecule has its own fingerprint. Other restriction enzymes can be used to further characterize a particular DNA molecule. The location of these restriction enzyme cleavage sites on the DNA molecule can be compiled to create a restriction enzyme map. These maps are very useful for identifying and characterizing a particular DNA plasmid or region. ...
• In this laboratory, you will use restriction enzymes to generate DNA profiles for bacteriophage lambda, a bacterial virus. ...
• A restriction enzyme reaction contains the DNA to be analyzed, a restriction enzyme, and a restriction enzyme buffer mix. ...

• What is DNA Fingerprinting? Case of the Bloody Micropipettor- Teacher Guide .
• How is DNA evidence prepared and analyzed in a crime case? Students perform agarose gel electrophoresis to analyze DNA samples from a mock crime scene. Based on DNA fingerprinting profiles that simulate samples (the DNA source is actually a bacterial virus) from the two suspects, the victim, and the blood on the murder weapon, students determine which suspect likely committed the crime. This activity helps students understand how DNA variation in individuals can be analyzed in practical applications such as genetic testing and forensics.

• DNA fingerprinting  .
•     A common procedure for DNA fingerprinting is restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). In this method, DNA is extracted from a sample and cut into segments using special restriction enzymes. RFLP focuses on segments that contain sequences of repeated DNA bases, which vary widely from person to person. ... The segments are radioactively tagged to produce a visual pattern known as an autoradiograph, or “DNA fingerprint,” on X-ray film. A newer method known as short tandem repeats (STR) analyzes DNA segments for the number of repeats at 13 specific DNA sites. ... Yet another process, polymerase chain reaction , is used to produce multiple copies of segments from a very limited amount of DNA (as little as 50 molecules), enabling a DNA fingerprint to be made from a single hair. ...

• In criminal investigations, the DNA fingerprint of a suspect's blood or other body material is compared to that of the evidence from the crime scene to see how closely they match. ... First developed in the mid-1980s, DNA fingerprinting has been accepted in most courts in the United States, and has in several notable instances been used to exonerate or free persons convicted of crimes. All states have established DNA fingerprint databases, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation has instituted a national DNA fingerprint database linking those of the states. DNA fingerprinting is generally regarded as a reliable forensic tool when properly done, but some scientists have called for wider sampling of human DNA to insure that the segments analyzed are indeed highly variable for all ethnic and racial groups.

DNA typing techniques focus on the smallest possible genetic differences that can occur: differences in the sequence of the four building blocks of DNA. ...
• Some uses of DNA typing compare the nucleotide sequence of two individuals to see how similar they are. At other times, the scientist is interested in assessing sequence similarity between a DNA sample and the known sequence of a reference sample. DNA typing has become one of the most powerful and widely known applications of biotechnology today. It is used for any task where minute differences in DNA matter, such as determining the compatibility of tissue types in organ transplants, detecting the presence of a specific microorganism, tracking desirable genes in plant breeding, establishing paternity, identifying individual remains, and directing captive breeding programs in zoos. ...
• DNA Typing Techniques.
• The technique of choice depends upon the question being asked, amount of DNA available, capability to minimize contamination, cost and urgency. ...
• One technique, known as restriction analysis, uses naturally occurring enzymes that cut DNA at very precise locations. Because of differences in the sequence of nucelotides, the enzymes cut DNA samples from different individuals in different places. The cut fragments of DNA are different sizes and compose a DNA pattern, or "fingerprint," unique to each individual. Comparing the different-sized DNA fragments of two samples provides very strong evidence about whether or not the two samples came from a single source or individual. ...
• Another DNA typing technique, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), makes use of the process by which cells duplicate their DNA before they divide into two cells. PCR makes thousands of copies of a specific DNA sequence in a matter of hours. PCR, like restriction analysis, allows us to compare two DNA samples to see if they come from the same individual, but it also allows us to detect the presence or absence of particular bits of DNA in a sample. ...
