Genetic fingerprinting is also called as DNA profiling.
It 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.Although 99.9% of human DNA sequences are the same in every person, enough of the DNA is different to distinguish one individual from another.Genetic fingerprinting is an important tool for forensic investigators.
Genetic fingerprinting allows for positive identification, not only of body remains, but also of suspects in custody.So in order for better understanding we can say that genetic fingerprinting is the procedure of analyzing the DNA in samples of a person's body tissue or body fluid for the purpose of identification.
