DNA Forensic Genome Sequencing

(i) Paternity determination: Genome sequencing identifies the father or mother of the fetus. A child inherits half of its chromosomes from its parents. So the child’s DNA sequence reveals intermediate characteristics. In this way the paternity of the child can be determined.
(ii) Criminal Identification: Criminals involved in murder or rape can be identified through application of genome sequencing. Blood drops, hair, teeth, nails, semen or semen, body parts, etc. are collected from the crime scene. If the amount of sample obtained is too low, the amount is amplified in the PCR process. The genome sequencing of these samples is compared with the genome sequencing of the suspect. In this way the culprit can be identified.
(iii) Identification of corpses: Mutilated corpses can be identified by genome sequencing.
(iv) Identification of individuals: By examining the genome sequence, an idea about the physical structure, characteristics, color etc. of an individual can be obtained.
(v) Prediction of the child: Genome sequencing by taking samples from the embryo before the child is born can give an idea about the future of the child. The child is tall or short, black or fair, weak or strong, and the mannerisms are perceived.
(vi) Identification of Biodiversity: Genome sequencing is applied to identify the genetic diversity of plants.
