DNA fingerprinting is a test to identify and evaluate the genetic information-called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)-in a person's cells. It is called a fingerprint because it is very unlikely that any two people would have exactly the same DNA information, in the same way that it is very unlikely that any two people would have exactly the same physical fingerprint.
Why It Is Done. DNA fingerprinting is done to: 1  Find out who a person's parents or siblings are. 2  This test also may be used to identify the parents of babies who were switched at birth. 3  Solve crimes (forensic science). drop of blood or the root of a hair contains enough DNA for testing. Semen, hair, or skin scrapings are often used in criminal investigations. A person who has DNA fingerprinting done voluntarily usually provides a sample of blood taken from a vein.
