Dr. Alec Jeffreys developed tht technique of DNA fingerprinting in an attempt to identify DNA marker for inherited diseases.
DNA fingerprinting uses short nucleotide repeats called Variable Number Tendem Repeats (VNTRs) as markes . VNTRs very from persom and are inherited from one genaeration to the next. Only closely indiviuals have similar VNTRs.
