DNA TESTING is an application of science used to solve many contemporary problems:
The principles and techniques used for forensic DNA typing are also quite useful for other purposes. DNA profiles are widely used in resolving issues of parentage in man and animals, and are rapidly replacing serologic analysis (i.e. blood typing) for that purpose. Additionally, DNA testing is an indispensible tool for positional cloning, a technique by which a previously unknown gene is identified by finding associations or links between DNA markers and the inheritance of a disease.
