Only a small sample of cells is needed for DNA fingerprinting. A 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.
DNA profiling (also called DNA fingerprinting, DNA testing, or DNA typing) is a forensic technique used to identify individuals by characteristics of their DNA.ach personâs DNA contains two copies of these markersâone copy inherited from the father and one from the mother. Within a population, the markers at each personâs DNA location could differ in length and sometimes sequence, depending on the markers inherited from the parents.
