Brief introduction to human DNA fingerprinting.

摘要: In early 1985, Jeffreys et al. (1985b) described the first development of multilocus DNA fingerprints and speculated that these individual-specific patterns might provide a powerful method for individual identification paternity testing. At time, it was thought implementation applications would be protracted, major legal problems encountered as evidence proceeded from research laboratory to court room. Subsequent history showed this prediction unduly pessimistic. By April 1985 case, involving UK immigration dispute, had been satisfactorily resolved by fingerprinting (Jeffreys al., 1985a). Shortly thereafter, in dispute admitted civil court. typing criminal investigations saw its debut October 1986 with Enderby murder an investigation which led instance release prime suspect proved innocent (Gill Werrett, 1987; Wong see Wambaugh, 1989). 1987, results courts USA, 1988 Home Office Foreign Commonwealth ratified use resolution disputes hinge upon disputed family relationships (Home Office, 1988).
