  2. DNA profiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_profiling

    The tissue was tested using DNA fingerprinting, and showed that she bore no relation to the Romanovs. [106] In 1994, Earl Washington, Jr., of Virginia had his death sentence commuted to life imprisonment a week before his scheduled execution date based on DNA evidence. He received a full pardon in 2000 based on more advanced testing.

  3. Genomics of personality traits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genomics_of_personality_traits

    It is a survey-based approach used in a large number of studies on dog behaviour, where the dog owner's answers to validated questionnaires to assess the personality traits of the dog. C-BARQ was developed at the University of Pennsylvania and its reliability, validity and standardized test scores support its use as a tool in behavioural ...

  4. Brain fingerprinting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_fingerprinting

    Although brain fingerprinting has been used in investigations, the test results themselves can not be admitted as evidence in a legal trial. [ 3 ] The assumption underpinning the application of BF is that the culprit has concealed information about the crime stored in the brain and it can be revealed by analysing fluctuations in the brainwaves ...

  5. Body identification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_identification

    Alec Jeffreys is known as the "founding father of DNA identification”. [11] He invented DNA fingerprinting in the 1980s to assist in the process of body identification. [11] Since then, the method of DNA typing in forensic science has advanced and many techniques to identify microRNA markers in bodily fluids have developed. [21]

  6. Alec Jeffreys - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alec_Jeffreys

    DNA profiling, based on typing individual highly variable minisatellites in the human genome, was also developed by Alec Jeffreys and his team in 1985, [20] [21] with the term (DNA fingerprinting) being retained for the initial test that types many minisatellites simultaneously. By focusing on just a few of these highly variable minisatellites ...

  7. DNA sequencing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_sequencing

    DNA sequencing may be used along with DNA profiling methods for forensic identification [21] and paternity testing. DNA testing has evolved tremendously in the last few decades to ultimately link a DNA print to what is under investigation. The DNA patterns in fingerprint, saliva, hair follicles, etc. uniquely separate each living organism from ...

  8. DNA phenotyping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_Phenotyping

    DNA phenotyping is the process of predicting an organism's phenotype using only genetic information collected from genotyping or DNA sequencing.This term, also known as molecular photofitting, is primarily used to refer to the prediction of a person's physical appearance and/or biogeographic ancestry for forensic purposes.

  9. Forensic biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forensic_biology

    Forensic biology is the application of biological principles and techniques in the investigation of criminal and civil cases. [1] [2]Forensic biology is primarily concerned with analyzing biological and serological evidence in order to obtain a DNA profile, which aids law enforcement in the identification of potential suspects or unidentified remains.
