Background Information

Molecular Biologist Alec Jeffreys devises a way to make the analysis of more than 3 million units in the human DNA sequence much more manageable by comparing only the parts of the sequence that show the greatest variation amoung people. His method quickly finds its way into the courts, where it is used to exonerate people wrongly accused of crimes and to finger the true culprits. The year that this DNA fingerprinting development started was 1984. I truly think that this invention of technology is an extremely important one and has had nothing but good results from it. I hope you all enjoy reading and posting on this topic. Any questions or comments please feel free to post. I check back on this blog often.
