Forensic DNA Analysis

DNA test methods to distinguish the genes in human being. DNA analysis is used to diagram the relationships linking different organisms, the diagnosis of born and unborn individuals, to determine paternity and forensic medicine.

The analysis is based on several techniques, including electrophoresis and DNA hybridization. Varied parts of the DNA is made visible by a ribbon pattern. The method used for simultaneously examine numerous diverse parts of the genetic material.

Pattern of DNA bearing the same throughout life, just like fingerprints Analysis of blood, sperm, hair roots, muscle tissue, etc. give the alike pattern. There is little basic material required for DNA analysis to be performed.

A drop of blood the size of a pinhead is enough, because there are techniques in which DNA can multiply many times (polymerase chain reaction). DNA analysis technique was first performed by the British geneticist Alec Jeffreys in 1985.
