Abbreviations. DNA Fingerprinting has become an indelible part of society helping to prove innocence or guilt in criminal cases resolving immigration arguments and clarifying paternity. It's inventor Professor Sir. Alec Jeffreys University of Leicester looks back at how it began. His plan was to use the primitive gene detection methods of the time to look at the structures of genes and understand inherited variation the variation between people. An early outcome of this research was one of the first descriptions of a Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP). (DNA cutting enzymes target short DNA sequences and chop the genome into pieces. Some people have a small DNA change a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) in a target site preventing the enzymes cutting the DNA at that site). The general term DNA fingerprinting is used to describe all these procedures for characterizing DNA using VNTRs RFLPs and other sequence polymorphisms techniques. DNA Fingerprinting has its applications in the various sectors of life sciences medical and crime investigation. The technique is used to find out guilt or innocence suspect in forensic identification for powerful law enforcement DNA Banks for endangered animal species poached animals DNA Forensics Databases disease diagnosis drug development and SNPs as risk factors in disease development. 266 pp. Seller Inventory # 68811
