genidentifikation
Genidentifikation is a process used to determine the specific genetic makeup of an individual organism. This involves analyzing their DNA or RNA to identify unique genetic markers. These markers can include specific gene sequences, variations in genes (like single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs), or the presence of particular chromosomes. The primary goal of genidentifikation is to establish a person's or organism's genetic profile, which can be used for a variety of purposes.
In forensic science, genidentifikation is crucial for identifying individuals from biological samples found at crime scenes,
