Hello there,

DNA fingerprinting uses enzymes that cut DNA at specific sites. This can be used to examine multiple samples and match against a crime scene sample. This link explains a bit more about how to carry out this project (using a kit from Biorad): https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... cs#summary

There are multiple crime scene related projects on this forum that you may want to take a look at:

Good Luck and Have Fun!
