    Alec Jeffreys. After finishing his doctorate, he moved to the University of Amsterdam, where he worked on mammalian genes as a research fellow, [15] and then to the University of Leicester in 1977, where in 1984 he discovered a method of showing variations between individuals' DNA, inventing and developing genetic fingerprinting.

  3. DNA profiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_profiling

    DNA profiling (also called DNA fingerprinting and genetic fingerprinting) is the process of determining an individual's deoxyribonucleic acid characteristics. DNA analysis intended to identify a species, rather than an individual, is called DNA barcoding .

  4. Body identification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_identification

    Alec Jeffreys is known as the "founding father of DNA identification”. [11] He invented DNA fingerprinting in the 1980s to assist in the process of body identification. [11] Since then, the method of DNA typing in forensic science has advanced and many techniques to identify microRNA markers in bodily fluids have developed. [21]

  5. Forensic DNA analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forensic_DNA_analysis

    Rapid DNA is a "swab in-profile out" technology that completely automates the entire DNA extraction, amplification, and analysis process. Rapid DNA instruments are able to go from a swab to a DNA profile in as little as 90 minutes and eliminates the need for trained scientists to perform the process.

    Class on the Bertillon system in France in 1911. Class on the Bertillon system in France in 1911. Alphonse Bertillon (French: [bɛʁtijɔ̃]; 22 April 1853 – 13 February 1914) was a French police officer and biometrics researcher who applied the anthropological technique of anthropometry to law enforcement creating an identification system based on physical measurements.

    The decision by the Brazilian government to adopt fingerprint-based biometrics was spearheaded by Dr. Felix Pacheco at Rio de Janeiro, at that time capital of the Federative Republic. Dr. Pacheco was a friend of Dr. Juan Vucetich, who invented one of the most complete ten-print classification systems in existence. The Vucetich system was ...
