DNA profiling DNA profiling (also called DNA testing‚ DNA typing‚ or genetic fingerprinting) is a technique employed by forensic scientists to assist in the identification of individuals on the basis of their respective DNA profiles. DNA profiles are encrypted sets of numbers that reflect a person’s DNA makeup‚ which can also be used as the person’s identifier. DNA profiling should not be confused with full genome sequencing. It is used in‚ for example‚ parental testing and rape investigation

- DNA TESTING - "It’s good to know where you come from. It makes you what you are today. It’s DNA‚ it’s in your blood.

DNA Typing The discovery of the structure of DNA opened the realm of DNA technology and changed the way in which crimes can be solved. This is due to the fact that many criminals often unwittingly leave their DNA at crime scenes and/or the DNA of victims is carried away on the clothes of their assailants (Saferstein‚ 2015). Thus‚ by using DNA it is relatively easy to place individuals at crime scenes and discover key evidence. Before the 1980s‚ the courts primarily relied on testimony and eyewitness

In order to understand the advantages and disadvantages of DNA profiling one must have a full understanding of what it is. DNA profiling‚ also referred to as DNA fingerprinting or genetic fingerprinting‚ is the process of identifying an individual by analyzing their DNA samples (body tissues‚ body fluids‚ bone‚ hair). This process did not exist until the mid-1980’s when English Scientist‚ Dr. Alec Jeffreys‚ discovered that DNA contains repetitive patterns that vary from individual to individual

Discuss the legal implications of the use of DNA evidence in the NSW criminal justice system DNA evidence is a widely used tool in the NSW criminal justice system that aims to help achieve justice. DNA‚ short for deoxyribonucleic acid‚ is a long molecule found within the cells of the human body. Each cell contains genetic material in which‚ apart from identical twins‚ is exclusive to every individual. DNA though considered a reliable piece of evidence can present many issues in the criminal

The DNA Identification Act of 1994 authorized the establishment of a national index of: (1) DNA identification records of persons convicted of crimes‚ (2) analyses of DNA samples recovered from crime scenes‚ and (3) analyses of DNA samples recovered from unidentified human remains. In addition‚ it specified several standards for those laboratories that contribute profiles to the national index system‚ including proficiency testing requirements for DNA analysts and privacy protection standards related
