36、effrey came across DNA fingerprinting: He identified the patte rns of genetic material that are unique to almost every individual. His discovery changed everything from the way we do criminal investigations to the way we decide family law. But the professor of genetics at the University of Leicester
37、, UK, is still surprised, and a bit worried, by the power of the technology he released upon the world. The patterns within DNA are unique to each individual, except identical twins, who share the same pattern. The ability to identify these patterns has been used to convict(证明 有罪 ) murderers and to
38、clear people who are wrongly accused. It is also used to identify the victims of war and settle disputes over who is the father of a child.

41、gin or psychological profile. “There is the long-term risk that people can get into these samples and start getting additional information about a persons paternity(父子关系 ) or risk of disease,” Jeffrey said. DNA testing is not an unfailing proof of identity. Still, it is considered a reasonably relia
42、ble system for determining the things it is used for. Jeffrey estimates the probability of two individuals DNA profiles matching in the most commonly used tests at one in a billion. 【小题 1】 According to the text, DNA testing can NOT be used in _ .
