Genomics -- The Future of Forensic DNA Profiling
Genomics is the scientific study of the molecular instructions encoded in your cells. It maps your entire genetic structure. Till now, forensic science has focused on only identifying your cell's nuclei signature -- your inner DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and, to a degree, your outer miDNA (mitochondrial DNA) -- not your genes. The old method of forensically profiling your biological fingerprint by DNA analysis is being replaced by a computerized 3D genome recreation of your entire being.
