USES OF DNA TECHNOLOGY
• DNA Profiling• Parentage Testing• Genealogy • Genetic Screening • Genetically Modified Organisms
![Page 3: USE OF DNA TECHNOLOGY: DNA PROFILING. USES OF DNA TECHNOLOGY DNA Profiling Parentage Testing Genealogy Genetic Screening Genetically Modified Organisms.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ea15503460f94ba4be5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
DNA PROFILING
• Method to identify an individual based upon their DNA
• Used in:• Criminal investigations• Parentage Testing
![Page 4: USE OF DNA TECHNOLOGY: DNA PROFILING. USES OF DNA TECHNOLOGY DNA Profiling Parentage Testing Genealogy Genetic Screening Genetically Modified Organisms.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ea15503460f94ba4be5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
UNDERLYING PRINCIPLE
• Over 99.9% of our DNA is identical across all people• BUT this means some is different
![Page 5: USE OF DNA TECHNOLOGY: DNA PROFILING. USES OF DNA TECHNOLOGY DNA Profiling Parentage Testing Genealogy Genetic Screening Genetically Modified Organisms.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ea15503460f94ba4be5/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
UNDERLYING PRINCIPLE• In our different DNA:• Variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs)• DNA made up of repetitive sequences that can
be found in different numbers for different people • STRs: short tandem repeats (2-5nt long)• LTRs: long tandem repeats

UNDERLYING PRINCIPLE
• VNTRs:• Are genetic…• The number of repeats in any given VNTR
would have been passed down from a parent
![Page 8: USE OF DNA TECHNOLOGY: DNA PROFILING. USES OF DNA TECHNOLOGY DNA Profiling Parentage Testing Genealogy Genetic Screening Genetically Modified Organisms.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ea15503460f94ba4be5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
UNDERLYING PRINCIPLE• VNTRs:• Are very numerous in our genome• Take home message:• The number of repeats in each VNTR is unique
amongst individuals (unless identical twins)• You share roughly 50% of these repeats in
common with your parents and siblings

DNA PROFILING OVERVIEW
• Uses PCR to amplify VNTRs and then gel electrophoresis to visualize the DNA fragments created• This creates a unique DNA profile for each
person
![Page 10: USE OF DNA TECHNOLOGY: DNA PROFILING. USES OF DNA TECHNOLOGY DNA Profiling Parentage Testing Genealogy Genetic Screening Genetically Modified Organisms.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ea15503460f94ba4be5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
DNA PROFILING: PCR
• Primers are designed to “bookend” a VNTR of interest• Primers need to anneal to a conserved region
of DNA that is identical to each person

DNA PROFILING: PCR
• Primers are designed to “bookend” a VNTR of interest• Primers need to anneal to a conserved region of
DNA that is identical to each person• PCR will therefore give different fragments lengths
based on how many repeats a person has

DNA PROFILING: GEL ELECTROPHORESIS
• After the PCR, DNA is run on a gel to visualize the lengths of the DNA products

DNA PROFILING
• To accurately identify a person and reduce false positives:• U.S. examines 13 separate VNTRs• UK has a system with 11 VNTRs
• Both of these have VNTRs that are found on different chromosomes• Think “Law of Independent Assortment”

DNA PROFILING
• Criminal Investigations:• Identifying who an
unknown DNA sample belongs to

DNA PROFILING
• Paternity Testing:• Identifying who the
father/parents of a child are
