&lt;p&gt;In the same way that the ridges on our fingertips or the patterns in our irises differ, there are regions in our DNA that are unique.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This individuality is the basis for DNA fingerprinting, a laboratory technique that plays an important role in forensics, medicine and other scientific fields.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this blog, we take an in-depth look at this approach, delving into the steps involved, as well as its applications and limitations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;DNA fingerprinting &amp;ndash; often referred to as DNA profiling, molecular typing or molecular fingerprinting &amp;ndash; is a scientific method used to determine an organism&#039;s genetic make-up and, if relevant, to compare it to that of others. When applying the technique to the human genome, polymorphic regions are analyzed. While more than 99 % of the human genome is identical across all individuals,&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt; polymorphic regions vary significantly, and can therefore be used to establish a DNA profile that is almost unique to a person.&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The keyword here is &#039;almost&#039; &amp;ndash; because monozygotic twins, who come from a single fertilized egg, are an exception. They share DNA profiles so similar that they are indistinguishable by DNA fingerprinting. However, it&#039;s worth noting that even monozygotic twins don&#039;t share 100 % of their genome. Recent studies suggest that an average of 5.2 mutations occur early in their development,&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; leading to minor differences in their DNA profiles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
