摘要

"If we had called this "idiosyncratic Southern blot profiling,' nobody would have taken a blind bit of notice. Call it'DNA fingerprinting' and the penny dropped."- Professor Alec Jeffreys, 1996. High profile police investigations and television programmes like CSI mean that forensic science is never really out of the public eye, and now an ambitious project spearheaded by the UK's very own LGC Forensics means that our sights will be set firmly on this branch of science for some time to come.
