Uses of DNA Forensic Identification

As you have read in the previous posts that have been included in this blog, you can see that DNA Fingerprinting can be very complicated but also extremely useful. Did you know that DNA Identification was used in confirming the remains of many people that were killed in the September 11th attacks on the WTC. A Database was also created to help find the victims of the Holocaust. Creating this project was called the Shoah Project. It succeeded in reuniting many families with their loved ones. As you can see, DNA is not only used for convicting criminals or for even setting the innocent free. It is not only used for paternity tests either, but also helping many people in identifying remains of lost relatives and friends. I find DNA Forensics to be one of the most important technologies that has been discovered and evolved. With all the good it has done over the years and the progress that has been made, I look foprward to what else it has to offer in the near future and what new things develop.
