Pattern Recognition in Fingerprint and DNA Analysis
Abstract
In forensic science, DNA and fingerprint analysis are crucial methods that are frequently used to identify people and solve criminal cases. DNA analysis matches biological samples from crime scenes with suspects or identifies victims by using the distinct genetic code present in each person's cells. Forensic scientists can examine even minute amounts of DNA using methods like mitochondrial DNA analysis, short tandem repeat (STR) profiling, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, which yields highly accurate human identification. Analyzing fingerprints also depends on the distinct patterns of ridges, whorls, and loops seen on human fingertips. Automated fingerprint identification systems (AFIS) have advanced in recent years and enhanced the speed and accuracy of matching fingerprints across large databases. In forensic investigations, DNA and fingerprint analysis work well together as complementary methods. Fingerprints are direct proof of physical touch, whereas DNA provides a genetic blueprint.
