FINGERPRINTING A TOOL FOR IDENTIFICATION
2
DNA Profiling A method of Forensic identification
DNA Fingerprinting or DNA Profiling A method of Forensic identification DR.I.HAQUE CFSL,MHA
3
This unique pattern of individual DNA is called DNA Profiling
What is DNA Profiling? Using different state- of the- art techniques a definite DNA pattern is generated to individualise the person just like “ Fingerprinting”. This unique pattern of individual DNA is called DNA Profiling OR DNA Fingerprinting
4
DNA-DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID
1 DNA-DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID DNA The illustration is a ‘model’ of the double helix forming part of a DNA molecule (Slide 14)
5
Simple DNA Structure The phosphate and sugar form the backbone of the DNA molecule, whereas the bases form the “rungs”. There are four types of nitrogenous bases.

DNA DNA Gene Protein Trait
8
DNA Fingerprint Basics
Different individuals carry different alleles. Most alleles useful for DNA fingerprinting differ on the number of repetitive base sequences they contain. Restriction enzymes are used to cut the DNA along these repetitive sequences.
9
Who Invented it? The process of DNA fingerprinting was invented by Alec Jeffreys at the University of Leicester in 1985. He was knighted in 1994. Alec Jeffreys

VICTIM? Rape Murder Burglary Violent Crimes CRIME SCENE CRIMINAL? A TRIANGLE OF CRIME
11
Locard Exchange Theory
DNA Evidence Locard Exchange Theory The Locard Exchange Theory states that when two objects come into contact, there will be an exchange of material. This may involve transfer between two individuals, an individual and the crime scene or between the crime scene and another location.
