Why are specific databases necessary to interpret DNA fingerprints?

I guess it is because to interpret something you need a baseline or standard to compare your result with ... finding such a standard would be why you would use a database

It is now a National policy for all convicted felons to give DNA samples.  That database, in effect for over 5 years now, has already been responsible for the detection and identification of thousands of criminal suspects.  \n\nTyping of all citizens is, like the mandatory SS number, a sure sign of tyranny.

They check fingerprints against many databases, including the FBI.  They also check other domestic databases as well as some foreign and international databases.

if this is for the USA.... you can get this from the uscis.gov site, but they should have made you an appointment to get this done....USCIS has opened 84 freestanding fingerprint sites (ASCs) and 46 sites located in existing USCIS offices. USCIS now employs a system where fingerprints are taken and submitted electronically to the FBI. By using electronic fingerprint technology, USCIS has significantly reduced processing times for criminal background checks.\n\nif this is not for the US....call your embassy and ask them... they would know the best place.... because you need to know what excactly you need to have done...

Because there are so many databases (one for each city's police, one for each county's sheriff, one for each state's DPS, FBI, Interpol, and Megan's law), it takes time and credentials to access all the information needed to do a complete background check.  Since no likes working for free, if you want accurate information, you  are going to have to pay for a search.\nThere are a few exceptions (especially when checking your own info.) and some tricks and tips on the page listed in resources.

"If performed correctly, DNA testing becomes a powerful and impartial tool, able to correctly identify any perpetrator in crimes where there is relevant biological evidence. As the technology advances and is applied in appropriate cases before trial, the chances of convicting an innocent person, at least where identity can be proven through biological evidence, is greatly diminished."

DNA can trace a long ways back. There are "markers" that persons of the same relation will carrying. one set of markers is for your mothers side and another from your fathers side. if i rememeber right the mothers side is a little eaiser to trace back. :)

It all depends on what kind of Background Check: If it's a Criminal background it means your Criminal history with the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and or local Departments. If it's a Credit history, it could mean, jobs, addresses and other type of relevant information.\n\nIt is most likely a Criminal Background Check, so it only means all the arrests where your fingerprints where taken, whether convicted or not.\n\nIf you where never convicted of an arrest then you must obtain Certified Court records that show charges dismissed or never filed...

Mass-spectrometry (MS) is the only technique that gives true quantitative answers with extremely high certainty, but MS of DNA is uncommon and hard to do.  A more typical approach would be to "run a gel" separate the different fragments based on size: you have a porous matrix, you place the mixture of DNA pieces on one end, you apply a voltage.  Since the DNA is charged it migrates on the gel, but the bigger pieces are hindered by the matrix (the gel).  You then run a "standard" side-by-side with your unknown mixture--something with a mixture of a few fragments on known size.  Typically these "standard ladders" which are commercially available come in increments, e.g. 100 bp, 500 bp, 1000 bp, etc.  So you will be able to tell the size is between those fragment lengths (e.g. that a band from your unknown mixture is between 100 and 500 bp) with very high certainty, but you do not know the exact length with any certainty.\n\nAlternatively you can sequence DNA--this is very easy and cheap now-a-days, and has a very high-certainty.  So after doing a gel you can cut out the different bands and have them sequenced individually.  Both steps--the gel and the sequencing--are very routine, cheap, and reliable.

These are computer devices that measure the physical traits that make each individual unique i.e. voice verification, fingerprints, retina scanning, face recognition etc. \n\nbiometric devices have special sensors that measure and then digitize an individual's fingerprint, voice or any other physical trait and then compares it with a previously processed profile of the individual stored on a magnetic disk. If the profile matches then the individual is granted access to the computer network.

Query the RDBMS's internal schema for that information. Also can check data types using regex on values, as well as defining meta-data for test you want to run, and a utility script to use it against defined tables.  (If the database is set up correctly, you shouldn't experience anomalies in the first place.)

Because you want to test a portion which is unique.  The vast majority of our DNA is exactly like everyone else's- In the normal gene sequence, you might literally have a stretch of 10,000 base pairs without a single difference.  It's like that because it's critical that there not be mutationsm.  The variable regions do not code for proteins, and thus it's not critical that the cell maintain this sequence- It can vary without hurting the cell (or the person).  Because of that, there are a great many mutations in these area, making them unique, and therefore useful for identification.

its a very simple process actually.  Just fill out the application including the fingerprints for offical processing.  If any discrepencies are found, you will have to correct them.

The goal behind DNA barcoding is that anyone, regardless of training can obtain an organism in the field, sequence DNA, and identify it to species.  This would be done by building a database with almost every species ever described in it.\n\nMost traditional morphologists would not mind the creation of such a database in theory, but oppose it as impractical.  The cost will be quite daunting and will almost certainly draw from funds that could go to traditional studies (including genetic studies conducted in an evolutionary framework).  The ability of this section of gene (CO1) to universally distinguish species has been questioned.  The universality of primers has also been questioned.  The main fear is that it will be perceived as a replacement for traditional taxonomy.  Genetic distance is a very crude approximation of species' splits at best, and a meaningless distraction at worst.
