DNA Fingerprinting
Basically and simply, in order to understand DNA fingerprinting (so you can watch and understand CSI better!) you need to understand something about "restriction enzymes." These are proteins that act as catalysts. Specifically, they catalyze the breaking of DNA molecules. But generally speaking, not randomly. In fact, most restriction enzymes recognize specific sequences of about 4-6 base pairs (an AG or a CT) in a DNA ...
