DNA fingerprinting (also often called "DNA profiling") is a powerful tool that allows the unique pattern of certain common polymorphisms within an individual's genome to generate a unique genetic profile.  It is most famously used in law enforcement in cases where criminals leave DNA evidence at the crime scene.  More commonly, DNA fingerprinting is also used to determine genetic relationships between individuals; this application is widely used in research and paternity testing.
