DNA fingerprinting or DNA typing/genetic fingerprinting or DNA profiling is a technique to identify a person on the basis of person DNA specificity. The technique is based upon the fact that the DNA constitution of an individual carries some specific sequence of nucleotides, which do not carry any information for protein synthesis. These specific sequences are repeated many times and found at many places within the genome. These loci are known as the Variable number tandem repeats (VNTR`s) or minisatellites with repetitive sequence.
