DNA Fingerprinting: State of the Science

DNA fingerprinting had a well-defined birthday. In the March 7, 1985 issue of Nature, Alec Jeffreys and coworkers described the first develop­ ment ofmu1tilocus probes capable of simultaneously revealing hypervari­ ability at many loci in the human genome and called the procedure DNA fingerprinting....
