Microsatellite
... (highly polymorphic ) between individuals of the same species. It is for this reason that microsatellite sequences can be used for genetic
fingerprinting and paternity testing . Most loci of the genome, even non-coding parts, would be too similar to allow individuals to be reliably distinguished.

Proteomics
... low-throughput sequencing through Edman degradation. Higher-throughput proteomic techniques are based on mass spectrometry , commonly peptide mass
fingerprinting on simpler instruments, or de novo sequencing on instruments capable of more than one round of mass spectrometry. Antibody-based assays can also ...
Restriction fragment length polymorphism
... may be distinguished, and as the laboratory technique which uses this characteristic to compare DNA molecules. The technique is utilized in genetic
fingerprinting and paternity testing .
Method
Usually, DNA from an individual specimen is first extracted and purified. Purified DNA may be amplified by ...
