Dna Fingerprinting Presentation Transcript

Slide 1 - DNA Profiling (DNA fingerprinting)
Slide 2 - What is DNA Profiling? A technique used by scientists to distinguish between individuals of the same species using only samples of their DNA
Slide 3 - Who Invented it? The process of DNA fingerprinting was invented by Alec Jeffreys at the University of Leicester in 1985. He was knighted in 1994.
Slide 4 - Stages of DNA Profiling Stage 1: Cells are broken down to release DNA If only a small amount of DNA is available it can be amplified using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
Slide 5 - Stages of DNA Profiling Step 2: The DNA is cut into fragments using restriction enzymes. Each restriction enzyme cuts DNA at a specific base sequence.
Slide 6 - Stages of DNA Profiling The sections of DNA that are cut out are called restriction fragments. This yields thousands of restriction fragments of all different sizes because the base sequences being cut may be far apart (long fragment) or close together (short fragment).
Slide 7 - Stages of DNA Profiling Stage 3: Fragments are separated on the basis of size using a process called gel electrophoresis. DNA fragments are injected into wells and an electric current is applied along the gel.
Slide 8 - Stages of DNA Profiling DNA is negatively charged so it is attracted to the positive end of the gel. The shorter DNA fragments move faster than the longer fragments. DNA is separated on basis of size.
Slide 9 - Stages of DNA Profiling A radioactive material is added which combines with the DNA fragments to produce a fluorescent image. A photographic copy of the DNA bands is obtained.
Slide 10 - Stages of DNA Profiling Stage 4: The pattern of fragment distribution is then analysed.
Slide 11 - Uses of DNA Profiling DNA profiling is used to solve crimes and medical problems
Slide 12 - Crime Forensic science is the use of scientific knowledge in legal situations. The DNA profile of each individual is highly specific. The chances of two people having exactly the same DNA profile is 30,000 million to 1 (except for identical twins).
Slide 13 - Biological materials used for DNA profiling Blood Hair Saliva Semen Body tissue cells DNA samples have been obtained from vaginal cells transferred to the outside of a condom during sexual intercourse.
Slide 14 - DNA Profiling can solve crimes The pattern of the DNA profile is then compared with those of the victim and the suspect. If the profile matches the suspect it provides strong evidence that the suspect was present at the crime scene (NB:it does not prove they committed the crime). If the profile doesn’t match the suspect then that suspect may be eliminated from the enquiry.
Slide 15 - Example A violent murder occurred. The forensics team retrieved a blood sample from the crime scene. They prepared DNA profiles of the blood sample, the victim and a suspect as follows:
Slide 16 - Was the suspect at the crime scene? Suspects Profile Blood sample from crime scene Victims profile
Slide 17 - Solving Medical Problems DNA profiles can be used to determine whether a particular person is the parent of a child. A childs paternity (father) and maternity(mother) can be determined. This information can be used in Paternity suits Inheritance cases Immigration cases
Slide 18 - Example: A Paternity Test By comparing the DNA profile of a mother and her child it is possible to identify DNA fragments in the child which are absent from the mother and must therefore have been inherited from the biological father.
Slide 19 - Is this man the father of the child? Mother Child Man
Slide 20 - Famous cases In 2002 Elizabeth Hurley used DNA profiling to prove that Steve Bing was the father of her child Damien
Slide 21 - Famous Cases Colin Pitchfork was the first criminal caught based on DNA fingerprinting evidence. He was arrested in 1986 for the rape and murder of two girls and was sentenced in 1988.
Slide 22 - Famous Cases O.J. Simpson was cleared of a double murder charge in 1994 which relied heavily on DNA evidence. This case highlighted lab difficulties.
