DNA fingerprint
Unique biological barcode
A DNA fingerprint is a pattern of genetic markers unique to an individual, used for identification in criminal investigations, paternity testing, and other forensic applications.
Like a traditional fingerprint, no two people share the same DNA fingerprint except identical twins.
The DNA fingerprint matched samples found at the crime scene.
