DNA fingerprinting: Approaches and application

Application of DNA Fingerprinting for Plant Identification

DNA fingerprints led to the identification of closely related plant species and it is one of the tool for assessing genetic diversity and species relationship. DNA is most stable and does not vary seasonally and with age of the plant. DNA based fingerprinting techniques plays greater role in authentication of botanicals. This review gives an outline about the importance of DNA fingerprinting, D...

Application of DNA Fingerprinting Technology in Forensic Investigation

Every individual in the world can be, identified at the molecular level on the basis of an extremely high level of polymorphism in the sequence of his or her DNA, which he or she inherits from his or her biological parents and is Identical in every cell of the body. DNA fingerprinting, as this technique of identification is called, can confirm with certainty the parentage of an individual. The ...

New Approaches to Website Fingerprinting Defenses

Website fingerprinting attacks[10] enable an adversary to infer which website a victim is visiting, even if the victim uses an encrypting proxy, such as Tor[19]. Previous work has shown that all proposed defenses against website fingerprinting attacks are ineffective[5], [3]. This paper advances the study of website fingerprinting attacks and defenses in two ways. First, we develop bounds on th...

A DNA Fingerprinting Exercise for

"Hands on" laboratory exercises are excellent teaching tools because they have the potential to reach students with all types of learning styles. Unfortunately the large monetary investment required to obtain supplies and equipment and train instructors prevents many schools from providing hands-on learning experiences with DNA technology. Students in non-laboratory courses are even less likely...
