3. What is DNA
Fingerprinting?
A technique used by scientists
to distinguish between
individuals of the same
species using only samples of
their DNA
4. Who Invented it?
The process of DNA
fingerprinting was
invented by Alec
Jeffreys at the
University of Leicester
in 1985.
5. DNA
Our bodies are composed of cells.
We have approximately 70 trillion
cells in our bodies, of different
shapes and sizes according to their
function.
All of them have something in
common: they contain genetic
material called DNA
(deoxyribonucleic acid).
Islamabad Police- June 2018
6. DNA
The cells have central
circumscribed zone called
nucleus that contains
most of our DNA. This
DNA is organized in
discrete units called
chromosomes.
We inherit half of them
from our father and the
other half from our
mother.
Except for the Y-
chromosome: only in
males.
Outside of the nucleus there is the
smaller mitochondrial DNA. It is
inherited ONLY from our mothers.

8. Genetic Variation Types
Mini-satellites - repeated sequences, 10–100 base pairs
Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) – repeated sequences, 2–9 base pairs
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) - Single Nucleotide — A, T, C or G —
in the genome differs between members of a biological species or paired
chromosomes.

10. Mode of inheritance: biparental
Applied to
Paternity
Kinship
Family search
Criminal databases
11. Uniparental inheritance:
Y chromosome
Y-chromosome: ONLY IN MALES
Transmitted as a single block of
genetic information from fathers
to sons.
Applications:
Pedigree, clans (paternal lineage).
Paternity
Familial search
Rape cases
13. Genetic profiling

15. We’ve got DNA.
Now what ?
• Identify a clear question
• Choose DNA markers according to the question.
• Criteria: type of inheritance, resistance to degradation
etc.
Not all DNA in the genome is equally informative.
Some DNA markers are more efficient for
o kinship and paternity investigations,
o degraded DNA situations e.g. mass disasters, and other
o for inference of ethnic ancestry, or geographic origin.

18. Differential DNA Extractions
• Used when sperm is present in a sample
• Designed to separate sperm cells from
non-sperm cells
• One sample becomes split into two
different fractions (sperm and non-sperm)
• Involves additional washing steps
• After washing, fractions receive the same
purification and concentration steps
23. Modern DNA Fingerprinting
• Gel electrophoresis has been replaced by the
use of STR analysis, which analyzes shorter
pieces of DNA.
24. How do we study biparental DNA
variation?
Islamabad Police- June 2018
• The most common DNA fragments (markers) used in individual
ID are called microsatellites or STRs (Short Tandem Repeats)

25. STR
• Short tandem repeat
• Describes a type of DNA polymorphism in which:
– a DNA sequence repeats
– over and over again
– and has a short (usually 4 base pair) repeat unit
• A length polymorphism -- alleles differ in their length
5 repeats: AATG AATG AATG AATG AATG
6 repeats: AATG AATG AATG AATG AATG AATG
4 repeats: AATG AATG AATG AATG
3 repeats: AATG AATG AATG

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) enables
researchers to produce millions of copies
of a specific DNA sequence in vitro in
approximately two hours.

• 15 STR Markers Can Be
Amplified in 1 reaction.
• Sensitivity = less than 250
pg of DNA.
• Different Fluorescent Dyes
Used to Distinguish STR
Alleles with Overlapping
Size Ranges.

length , primers are labeled with
different fluorescent dyes

primers are labeled with same

36. Running PCR fragments on
Genetic Analyzer
• We mix 1ul of PCR product, 1ul of size
standard in 18 ul of Hi-Di formamide.
• Heat denature at 95oC for 5 minutes. (Samples
and allelic ladder)
• Chill quickly on ice and load on to the genetic
analyzer.

52. 2. Brief introduction to DNA forensics.
DNA markers. Crime scenes.
DNA forensics is the specialized field of forensics that
used DNA evidence in criminal investigations.
These include paternity disputes, kinship analysis, rape,
identification of missing people, mass graves, mass
disasters, crime scene genotyping, cold cases, etc, and the
novel non-traditional developments for “profiling without
a suspect”.
Many of these applications are regulated by law, e.g.
“phenotyping” is not allowed in most countries.
