Autoradiogram showing a DNA fingerprint
DNA fingerprint. View of an autoradiogram (X-ray) sheet showing DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) sequences forming a DNA fingerprint. DNA is the molecule found in all cells which contains the genetic hereditary material. Here the DNA has been sequenced into rows of irregularly spaced black bands. The bands represent the positioning of the four base pairs in the DNA molecule which make up the genetic code in the form of genes. The banding pattern was obtained by fragmenting the DNA with enzymes. A DNA sample can be taken from blood or other body tissues. A DNA fingerprint is unique to every person. It can be used to identify genes of the parents of a child, or of criminals

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an autoradiogram, revealing the intricate details of a DNA fingerprint. The image captures the essence of genetic identity and hereditary material encoded within every living cell. Rows of irregularly spaced black bands form a mesmerizing pattern, representing the positioning of four base pairs that constitute the genetic code in genes. The creation of this striking banding pattern involved fragmenting DNA with enzymes, resulting in a unique representation for each individual. A DNA sample extracted from blood or other body tissues can be utilized to generate such fingerprints. This powerful tool holds immense potential in various fields, including forensic investigations and paternity testing. The double helix structure is beautifully depicted here, reminding us of the fundamental building blocks that shape life itself. As we delve into the realm of biochemistry and genetics through this photograph, we are reminded that our genetic makeup is as distinct as our fingerprints. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this momentous scientific achievement by providing us with an extraordinary glimpse into the world of DNA research and technology. Through their lens, we witness not only the beauty but also appreciate how these advancements contribute to unraveling mysteries surrounding human existence and enabling breakthroughs in medicine and beyond.
