Also can be used for paternity tests. 99 % of human DNA sequences are the same in every person. Remaining sequences are different . It makes every individual unique.




This is used to distinguish and identify the individuals of a same species by using their DNA samples. These biological samples may be blood, hair, saliva, semen, body tissue cells. The DNA samples are isolated first. Then digested by restriction endonucleases. After this electrophoretic separation of fragments are done. These fragments are transferred into nylon or nitrocellulose membrane. This is followed by probing, hybridization and autoradiography. From this banding pattern is analyzed.
