Engineers have demonstrated a method for ensuring that an increasingly popular method of genetic identification called ''DNA fingerprinting'' remains secure against inadvertent mistakes or malicious ...

We have developed a new fluorescence-based method for DNA fingerprinting that does not require a fluorescent linker or a synthetic oligonucleotide primer, both of which are normally used for labeling ...

Decoding the identity of biomolecules from trace samples is a longstanding goal in the field of biotechnology, and while next-generation sequencing technologies have made it possible to identify ...

Engineers at Duke University and the New York University's Tandon School of Engineering have demonstrated a method for ensuring that an increasingly popular method of genetic identification called ...

As potential developments in the automation of DNA fingerprinting threaten to introduce vulnerabilities in the system, researchers develop ‘genetic barcodes’ to prevent sample tampering. DNA ...

FORENSIC scientists in the US are applying DNA fingerprinting methods to the cannabis plant. They say the technique, which is being used to create a database of DNA profiles of different marijuana ...

Last year marked the tenth anniversary of forensic DNA typing [1]. There were scientific advances and changes of direction in the continuing debate over assessment of DNA evidence, the resolution of ...

The underlying theory of this country's criminal justice system, in which suspects are presumed to be innocent, is that it is better for 1,000 guilty men to go free than for one innocent to be ...

SAN DIEGO, March 13 — Dusting for fingerprints can sometimes alter the prints, erasing valuable forensic clues. Now, chemists say they have developed a new fingerprint visualization technique using ...
