title: [DNA profiling for identification purposes].
abstract: DNA "fingerprinting" was described for the first time in 1985, and since then DNA profiling has been used increasingly to identify the origin of biological material, such as blood and semen stains. The method is also used in cases of disputed paternity and to help identify dead bodies. In this article we review the methods and their practical use, and discuss various aspects of quality and security.
