What are the differences between dna fingerprinting and dna profiling?

Answer 1

DNA profiling ( DNA fingerprinting, DNA testing, DNA typing ) is a forensic technique used to identify individuals by characteristics of their DNA.

Short tandem repeats in particular are highly variable repetitive sequences used in DNA profiling; it is unlikely that two unrelated people would have the same sequences.

This method is frequently used to identify clear identities, such as those of missing persons, or to ascertain genetic family relationships.

DNA fingerprinting and DNA profiling refer to the same process, which is the analysis of DNA to identify individuals. There are no differences between the two terms; they are used interchangeably to describe the technique of analyzing specific regions of an individual's DNA to create a unique genetic profile.
