DNA fingerprinting has multiple uses including determining genetic relationships (paternity tests), assessing population variation, medical diagnosis, forensics, and in animal and plant breeding.
- determining genetic relationships (related people have similar VNTRs), eg- paternity tests - determining genetic variation in a population - medical diagnosis (diagnosing inherited diseases) - forensics (connecting evidence to individuals) - animal breeding (diagnosing inherited diseases) - plant breeding (determining lineage)
