DNA fingerprinting is a method used to identify living things based on samples of their DNA. Instead of looking at the whole sequence of a person’s DNA, these techniques look at the presence or absence of common markers that can be quickly and easily identified.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Historical background
DNA fingerprinting was developed in 1984
by Alec. J. Jeffrey at the University of Leicester
He was studying the gene of myoglobin.
This is a picture of Alec. J. Jeffrey
3. What is DNA Fingerprinting?
The chemical structure of everyone's DNA is the same.
The only difference between people (or any animal) is
the order of the base pairs.
The information contained in DNA is determined
primarily by the sequence of letters along the zipper.
Structure of DNA
4. The different sequence
segments that
vary in size and
composition
and have no
apparent
function are
called
minisatellites
The different sequences is the same as the word "POST"
has a different meaning from "STOP" or "POTS," even
though they use the same letters. i
5. Using these sequences, every person could be identified
solely by the sequence of their base pairs
there are so many millions of base pairs, the task would
be very time-consuming
Instead, scientists are able to use a shorter method,
because of repeating patterns in DNA.
These patterns do not, however, give an individual
"fingerprint,"
they are able to determine whether two DNA samples
are from the same person, related people, or non-
related people.
6. DNA Fingerprinting using
VNTR'sOn some human chromosomes, a short sequence of
DNA has been repeated a number of times.
the repeat number may vary from one to thirty repeats
these repeat regions are usually bounded by specific
restriction enzyme sites
cut out the segment of the chromosome containing this
variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR's )
identify the VNTR's for the DNA sequence of the
repeat.
7. Making DNA Fingerprints
DNA fingerprinting is a laboratory procedure that requires
six steps:
1: Isolation of DNA.
2: Cutting, sizing, and sorting.
Special enzymes called restriction enzymes are used to cut
the DNA at specific places
8. 3: Transfer of DNA to nylon.
The distribution of DNA pieces
is transferred to a nylon sheet
by placing the sheet on the gel
and soaking them overnight.
4-5: Probing.
Adding radioactive or colored probes to the nylon sheet
produces a pattern called the DNA fingerprint.
9. 4-6: DNA fingerprint.
The final DNA fingerprint is built by using several
probes (5-10 or more) simultaneously.
10. Stages of DNA Profiling
Stage 1:
Cells are broken down
to release DNA
If only a small amount of
DNA is available it can be
amplified using the
polymerase chain reaction
(PCR)
11. Stages of DNA Profiling
Step 2:
The DNA is cut into fragments using restriction enzymes.
Each restriction enzyme cuts DNA at a specific base
sequence.
12. Stages of DNA Profiling
The sections of DNA that are cut out are called
restriction fragments.
This yields thousands of restriction fragments of all
different sizes because the base sequences being cut
may be far apart (long fragment) or close together
(short fragment).
13. Stages of DNA Profiling
Stage 3:
Fragments are
separated on the basis
of size using a process
called gel
electrophoresis.
DNA fragments are
injected into wells and
an electric current is
applied along the gel.
14. Stages of DNA Profiling
DNA is negatively
charged so it is
attracted to the
positive end of the gel.
The shorter DNA
fragments move faster
than the longer
fragments.
DNA is separated on
basis of size.
15. Stages of DNA Profiling
A radioactive material
is added which
combines with the
DNA fragments to
produce a fluorescent
image.
A photographic copy
of the DNA bands is
obtained.
16. Crime
Forensic science is the use of scientific knowledge in
legal situations.
The DNA profile of each individual is highly specific.
The chances of two people having exactly the same
DNA profile is 30,000 million to 1 (except for identical
twins).
17. Biological materials used for DNA profiling
Blood
Hair
Saliva
Semen
Body tissue cells
DNA samples have been
obtained from vaginal cells
transferred to the outside
of a condom during sexual
intercourse.
18. DNA Profiling can solve crimes
The pattern of the DNA profile is then compared
with those of the victim and the suspect.
If the profile matches the suspect it provides
strong evidence that the suspect was present at
the crime scene (NB:it does not prove they
committed the crime).
If the profile doesn’t match the suspect then that
suspect may be eliminated from the enquiry.
19. Example
A violent murder occurred.
The forensics team retrieved a blood sample from the
crime scene.
They prepared DNA profiles of the blood sample, the
victim and a suspect as follows:
20. Was the suspect at the crime scene?
Suspects
Profile
Blood sample

scene
Victims

21. Solving Medical Problems
DNA profiles can be used to determine whether a
particular person is the parent of a child.
A childs paternity (father) and maternity(mother)
can be determined.
This information can be used in
• Paternity suits
• Inheritance cases
• Immigration cases
22. Example: A Paternity Test
By comparing the DNA profile of a mother and her child it
is possible to identify DNA fragments in the child which are
absent from the mother and must therefore have been
inherited from the biological father.
23. Is this man the father of the child?
Mother Child Man
24. Famous cases
In 2002 Elizabeth
Hurley used DNA
profiling to prove that
Steve Bing was the
father
of her child Damien
25. Famous Cases
O.J. Simpson was
cleared of a double
murder charge in 1994
which relied heavily on
DNA evidence.
This case highlighted
lab difficulties.
