        abstract = {DNA fingerprinting, also known as DNA profiling, is a powerful biochemical method that has transformed modern forensic science, paternity testing, and genetic diagnostics. The process is grounded in molecular biology and chemistry principles, utilizing techniques like restriction enzyme digestion, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and gel electrophoresis to analyze variations in individuals’ DNA sequences. This paper explores the chemical principles underlying DNA fingerprinting, its methodology, and its diverse applications. We also examine the role of short tandem repeats (STRs), the chemical nature of nucleic acids, and the significance of electrophoretic mobility in DNA profiling.},
