Question

What is DNA phenotyping, and how do law enforcement agencies
use this profiling method?

Definition Definition Observable physical traits or characteristics of an organism, which are determined by its genetic makeup (genotype) as well as environmental factors. These traits can include anything from eye color or height to behavior or disease susceptibility. Understanding an organism's phenotype is important in fields such as genetics, medicine, and ecology.

Discuss the principle of DNA fingerprinting. How would you use the technique to find out a criminal in forensic studies ? Explain.
the hurdles that must be cleared before a new DNA profiling methodology can be used is.... A laboratory must demonstrate that it has achieved an error rate of zero with the methodology using samples that mimic those it encounters in casework. A lab needs to develop standard operating procedures and proficiency tests for its analysts. The technique must also be approved by an independent accrediting agency. A lab needs to invest in equipment, validation, the development of standard operating procedures, and training. The technique must also be determined to be admissible after Frye and Daubert hearings. Scientists working in an academic setting must first prepare the methodology for use in crime laboratories by developing test kits. Labs must then independently validate commercially available kits. Private crime laboratories can use new methodologies at any time but state/public crime laboratories must…
