Summary Introduction

To analyze:

Whether actual fingerprints can be used to perform a DNA profile.

Introduction:

DNA can be obtained from a variety of bodily sources, such as hair (with dead skin stuck to it), sweat, blood and skin. If any sample contains one of these, DNA may be present in it.
