Basics of DNA Fingerprinting

By Kate Brinton and Kim-An Lieberman

This page was created as a class project at the University of Washington to provide to the Internet basic information on the structure and function of DNA as it relates to DNA fingerprinting. This topic is especially pertinent in today's society because of the rising use of DNA fingerprinting as evidence in court cases.
