Index to this page Screening for the sickle-cell gene Screening for a RFLP "marker" DNA "fingerprinting" Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms (RFLPs) Restriction enzymes cut DNA at precise points producing a collection of DNA fragments of precisely defined length. These can be separated by electrophoresis , with the smaller fragments migrating farther than the larger fragments. complementary to a run of nucleotides in one or more of the restriction fragments and is radioactive (or fluorescent). If probes encounter a complementary sequence of nucleotides in a test sample of DNA, they bind to it by Watson-Crick base pairing and thus identify it. Polymorphisms are inherited differences found among the individuals in a population. RFLPs have provided valuable information in many areas of biology, including: screening human DNA for the presence of potentially deleterious genes ("Case 1"); providing evidence to establish the innocence of, or a probability of the guilt of, a crime suspect by DNA "fingerprinting" ( "Case 3" Case 1 : Screening for the sickle-cell gene Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder in which both genes in the patient encode the amino acid valine (Val) in the sixth position of the beta chain (beta S ) of the hemoglobin molecule.

World Anger as Japan moves to fingerprint foreigners Email Printer friendly version Normal font Large font October 26, 2007 - 3:56PM Japan is to fingerprint and photograph foreigners entering the country from next month in an anti-terrorism policy that is stirring anger among foreign residents and human rights activists. Anyone considered to be a terrorist or refusing to cooperate will be denied entry and deported. "This will greatly contribute to preventing international terrorist activities on our soil," Immigration Bureau official Naoto Nikai said in a briefing on the system, which starts on November 20. The checks are similar to the "US Visit" system introduced in the United States after the attacks on September 11, 2001. But Japan, unlike the United States, will require resident foreigners as well as visitors to be fingerprinted and photographed every time they re-enter the country. "It certainly doesn't make people who've been here for 30 or 40 years feel like they're even human beings basically," said businessman Terrie Lloyd, who has dual Australian and New Zealand citizenship and has been based in Japan for 24 years.
