Genetic Fingerprinting

Genetic fingerprinting, also known as DNA profiling, is a scientific technique used to identify individuals based on their unique DNA patterns. It analyzes specific regions of the DNA that vary greatly among people, making it possible to distinguish one individual from another. This method is often used in forensic science to solve crimes, establish paternity, and in medical research. By comparing DNA samples, such as blood or saliva, scientists can determine relationships or source of evidence with high accuracy, aiding in law enforcement and understanding genetic traits in populations.
