DNA fingerprinting is a laboratory technique used to establish a link between biological evidence and a suspect in a criminal investigation. A DNA sample taken from a crime scene is compared with a DNA sample from a suspect.
Fingerprinting
A common term for methods that allow the rapid identification of particular types of bacteria (also known as "typing").
Fingerprinting, clustering and sequence recognition by hybridization to short oligomers: informational support for targeted cDNA and genomic sequencing A. Milosavljevic, S. Savkovic, S. Batus, H. Dyanov, A. Gemmell, D. Grujic, D. Salbego, M.
Fingerprinting: The use of RFLPs or repeat sequence DNA to establish a unique individual-specific pattern of DNA fragments.
DNA fingerprinting: A process which uses fragments of DNA to identify the unique genetic makeup of an individual.
DNA replication: The use of existing DNA as a template for the synthesis of new DNA strands.
DNA fingerprinting A process by which an individual can be uniquely identified (well, narrowed down substantially!) by testing for multiple DNA polymorphisms.
DNA fingerprinting
Method of isolating and visualizing of sequences of DNA developed in 1984 by Alec Jeffreys.
DNA fingerprinting, also termed DNA profile analysis is based on the use of the "Southern" hybridization technique to analyze polymorphic regions of human DNA. Polymorphisms are explained in more detail in problem 5.
Genetic fingerprinting is a forensic technique used to identify a person by comparing his or her DNA with a given sample, e.g., blood from a crime scene can be genetically compared to blood from a suspect.

Another application of mass spectrometry is protein fingerprinting. This technique has been used to identify unique sets of proteins in blood, which serve as markers for different forms of cancer.
Before the days of DNA fingerprinting, ABO blood types were used as evidence in paternity testing or forensic tests.
