DNA profiling
Sign in to saveAlso known as genetic fingerprinting, DNA fingerprinting
technique used to identify an individual on the basis of their DNA characteristics
DNA profiling is a technique that identifies who a person is by analyzing the unique characteristics found in their DNA. It matters because it can reliably determine whether a specific individual was present at a crime scene, was involved in a paternity case, or is a victim in disaster situations.

The DNA double helix
DNA profiling (also called DNA fingerprinting and genetic fingerprinting) is the process of determining an individual's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) characteristics. DNA analysis intended to identify a species, rather than an individual, is called DNA barcoding.
