DNA fingerprinting or DNA profilingis considered the gold standard for forensic human identification (HID) &being widely employed throughout the world in criminal investigations. Apart from forensic human identification (HID), this technology is also very accurate, and reliable for medical science to diagnose various genetic disorders.
The advancedinstruments of the laboratory are used for day-to-day practical, dissertation, hands-on training, and research work for various courses in the Institute of Forensic Science. The laboratory is a focal point for research and development training forgraduate&post-graduatestudents in the advanced methods and techniques used in forensics DNA analysis. .
The objectives of the forensic fingerprinting unit:
