Identifying specific pieces of DNA in a complex mixture is readily accomplished using a method developed by Dr. Edwin Southern, and the technique bears his name.

Recombinant DNA is modified genetic material that has been engineered by combining two or more strands of DNA to form novel base-pair sequences.

Genetic technology is used to investigate paternity. By employing an electrical current to separate DNA fragments, the genetic similarity of individuals can be assessed.

Also called DNA fingerprinting, this type of genetic testing compares segments of DNA by using special proteins called restriction enzymes to cut up the DNA molecule.

DNA paternity testing makes it possible to, with a very high degree of certainty, determine the identity of a child's biological father. Here's how.

A series of critical scientific discoveries were required before the manipulation and propagation of engineered DNA molecules could be undertaken.

What is DNA fingerprinting and how does this type of genetic evidence factor into criminal retrials and verdict reversals?
