Abstract

Forensic identification is easy if an entire human body is available with minimal decomposition. Once decomposition has set in or when parts of the body are missing, identification becomes difficult or at times impossible using classical methods. In such situations DNA has proved to be useful for identification and increasingly, forensic studies utilize DNA profiles of individuals to establish identity.
