genetic profiling
Hereditary trait mapping
Genetic profiling is the analysis of DNA to identify individuals or determine biological relationships.
Law enforcement uses genetic profiling to match suspects to crime scene evidence or identify remains.
The technique also establishes paternity and screens for hereditary diseases.
The cold case was solved through genetic profiling of evidence collected decades earlier.
