Identification of Murderers and Rapists  and Many More - The technique of DNA fingerprinting developed recently (1985, 86) by Alec Jeffreys and his colleagues at Leicester University in U.K. and that of autoantibody fingerprinting described by A.K. Francoeur (1988) will completely revolutionize forensic biology.

In this field, identity of, a person with the help of blood stains, semen (sperms) stains, hair roots, tears, saliva arid perspiration will be possible with almost absolute certainty. These two techniques will be briefly discussed in this section.
