Introduction Innovational Proposal Today, data archiving processes severely slow down the data processing centers by using the tape drives, hard drives, and solid-state drives. Microsoft and University of Washington researchers, on the other hand, have developed a completely automated system that encodes and saves data in DNA for the subsequent encoding and reading. Microsoft Microsoft…

Table of Contents Introduction Main body Conclusion References Introduction The depth of studies increases alongside the technological progress of humanity. Genetics is one of the scientific fields that benefit greatly from these advancements, as many of its aspects rely on the analysis of massive data sets. However, when scientists began working with human DNA, it…

The sphere of biology is constantly developing as researchers and scientists around the world make new discoveries and create new technological solutions which benefit the entire humanity. One of the most notable breakthroughs of the past decades was the creation of genetic fingerprinting, which enabled biotechnology to make considerable progress. Invented in 1984, DNA fingerprinting…

1. The role of DNA is extremely important as it carries genetic information related to basic processes for organisms. Therefore, DNA has to be stable. In general, its stability becomes possible due to a large number of hydrogen bonds which make DNA strands more stable (Bugaut & Alberti, 2015). Apart from that, its shape (a…

Introduction The study of the structure of DNA is important not only to biologist, but to every inquisitive mind and every person that is interested in knowing how this life we live is recreated. Many researchers have come up with findings which have contributed greatly to the body of knowledge, and to the understanding of…

How was DNA used to solve the Golden State Killer case? Is it ethical to obtain the results via this tool? One of the most recent tools available for crime investigations is a DNA match of one’s profile in a publicly available genealogy database. The initial idea of these websites is to provide people with…

Ensuring safety and security for all citizens is the key priority of state authorities, which is why preventing crime remains a crucial item on the political agenda. However, the recent suggestion concerning DNA-based identification of convicts may spark controversy due to its possible ethical ramifications. In his 2006 article, Danny Hakim addresses a rather controversial…

Table of Contents Introduction DNA fingerprinting A practical report on DNA fingerprinting References Introduction DNA fingerprinting also known as DNA testing, profiling or testing is used to identify individuals based on their DNA profiles. Although sequences of DNA are commonly found in human beings, profiling of DNA uses variable repeat sequences otherwise known as (VNTR).…

During the last decade, DNA samples have become a popular tool of criminologists to find and prove the criminal behavior of an individual. The FBI collected DNA in its agency since 1990 (Siegal et al 2000). The FBI professionals suppose that DNA analysis allows finding a partially individual and there is no other individual in…
