    DNA finger print technology also known as genetic fingerprinting, DNA testing, DNA typing and DNA profiling basically are methods applied to differentiate among individuals of the same kind applying only sections of their DNA.

    It was created by Sir Alec Jeffreys at the University of Leicester and was made public in the year 1985. Two individual human beings will normally have enormous majority of their DNA series in common. Genetic fingerprinting mainly utilizes extremely changeable repeating sequence known as minisatellites. Two distinct humans are likely to have diverse numbers of minisattelites at a particular locus.

    It is likely to create a match which is particularly unlikely to have arisen by chance. Genetic fingerprinting is applied on a large scale in forensic science, to match suspects to models of blood, hair, saliva or semen.
