DNA fingerprinting is another great British invention. Alec Jefferys, at Leicester University, invented the technique in the early 1980’s.
This talk describes how it was used for the first time – to solve a double murder and rape.
It then goes on to explain how the technique works and other important cases involving fingerprinting such as the King in Car Park, King Richard III and the last Russian Royal family.
The event finishes with explaining how we can use it for family history research.
