Dna fingerprinting: Or DNA profiling is a process used

DNA fingerprinting or DNA profiling is a process used to determine the nucleotide sequence at a certain part of the DNA that is unique in all human beings. The process of DNA fingerprinting was invented by Sir Alec Jeffrey at the University of Leicester in 1985. India has used DNA fingerprinting for establishing guilt in suspects and convicts of court cases. However, the technology can be equally useful in establishing innocence of suspects and convicts. India is yet to have made use of this technology for saving people from wrongful convictions. Procedure of DNA Fingerprinting DNA Extraction DNA is released by breaking down the cells. Samples are usually collected by means of blood, hair, saliva, semen, body tissue cells, etc. 2. DNA Cutting We use restriction enzymes to cut the DNA into small fragments. The DNAs are cut at a particular base sequence at individual restriction enzymes. 3. Gel Electrophoresis DNA fragments are separated on the basis of their size. We load DNA samples at one end of indentations (cavity) and on other ... DNA fingerprinting is a forensic technique to identify individuals by unique DNA patterns, developed by Sir Alec Jeffreys in 1984.
