forensic scientists take advantage of genomic
variations in noncoding regions of DNA the
techniques of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and
gel electrophoresis Introduction In recent
years, law enforcement has been revolutionized by
molecular biology. When human tissues are left
behind at crime scenes, these tissues can be
collected and processed to yield samples of DNA,
which can then be treated to isolate specific DNA
fragments that are highly variable in the human
population.
