By Becca Peterson and Bridget Kennedy What did he do? • Sir Alec Jeffreys is a geneticist who first developed DNA fingerprinting techniques those of which are commonly used today for police and detective work, paternity tests, and immigration issues DNA Profiling • DNA Profiling is a system employed by forensic scientists that allows each recorded person to be identified using their genotypes • Each person has different DNA in their body, so this is a way of differentiating each and every person by simply studying and analyzing his/her DNA DNA Fingerprinting • • • • One day after the research for DNA profiling was completed for its first installment, Jeffreys and his team to a look at a gene, the Myoglobin Gene. This Gene is located on your fingerprint After gaining the location of the Muoglobin Gene, Jeffreys created new clear Fingerprints that Showed Clean DNa Patterns and Genes. This was A Huge Success for Morden Science. His “In the Field” Work • After discovering the technique of genetic fingerprinting at the University of Leicester, he continued to work there as a professor in the Department of Genetics. • Sir Alec Jeffreys's methods were soon applied to the public when two young women were raped and murdered in Leicestershire. • One man was arrested for admitting to the murder of one of the women but not the other. Suspected of murder for both women, DNA samples were taken from him and the victim's bodies. • Shockingly, he was found innocent of both. DNA samples were then taken on every male in the area but no match was found. Finally • • Then a man named Colin Pitchfork was overheard boasting about how he got away with his friend lending him a sample of his DNA. He was then found guilty and the case was solved In 1986, thanks to Jeffrey's contributions to science. He still lives today and continues his work on DNA Profiling and Fingerprinting at the age of 62 Bibliography • Giles Newton (2004, April 2.) Discovering DNA fingerprinting.
