Dactyloscopy, the technique of fingerprinting, involves cleaning the fingers in benzene or ether, drying them, then rolling the balls of each over a glass surface coated with printer's ink.
The methodology may be used after other techniques of fingerprint detection have been tried.
This might include innovations such as those promoted by Harvard University's Graham Allison, who advocates the nuclear equivalent of fingerprinting techniques to dissuade governments like North Korea's from ever slipping their bombs to terrorists or cults.
The use of fingerprinting techniques indicated that marine mucilage is also a hot spot of bacterial diversity.
Reproducibility of fingerprinting techniques was assessed by repeatedly fingerprinting randomly selected clones (with more than 30 bands) and using Genoprofiler software [25].
The sensitivity of fingerprinting techniques may artificially increase linkage disequilibrium and potentially mask recombination.
He even has a cameo — as the man who "pioneered the whole technique" of fingerprint authentications — in Peter Robinson's popular detective novel "Playing with Fire"; the story is about a charming, "chameleonlike" con man who runs an art-forgery ring.
The multimetal deposition technique of fingerprint development relies on the affinity of gold particles for these biomolecules, as these are present in fairly large concentration in sweat residue (Saunders, 1989a).
History of fingerprinting.
Molecular typing studies, which are essential in tracking C. gattii epidemiology, have used the techniques of PCR fingerprinting (15 ), restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis (16 ), intergenic spacer sequencing (17 ), amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis (18 ), and more recently, multilocus sequence typing (MLST) (19, 20 ).
