The general steps in DNA profiling.
Concept introduction
DNA profiling is defined as the process of determining the unique pattern of an individual’s DNA. DNA profiling is also called as DNA typing or DNA fingerprinting. This technique is based on the principle to determine the variable number of tandem repeats present within the DNA sequence of an individual. Each individual has their unique variable number of tandem repeats.
