The College of Dentistry at the University of Karbala organized a workshop entitled (Genetic Fingerprinting and Forensic Evidence) in the College’s Continuing Education Hall, in which Professor Dr. Ali Hussein Makki lectured and in the presence of a group of college employees.

The workshop aims to introduce attendees to the importance of genetic fingerprinting in forensic evidence, in addition to determining its characteristics, the extent of its legitimacy in detecting the perpetrator, and whether there are possibilities for it to be forged.

The workshop included introducing the attendees to a detailed explanation of DNA and its relationship to forensic evidence, as well as clarifying the characteristics that distinguish the genetic fingerprint, which makes it superior to many other scientific evidence, such as fingerprints and blood types, as it is considered evidence of denial and proof that is almost conclusive, and this is what is not available in other means of proof. The possibility of forging it is almost impossible.

The workshop recommended the need to use DNA fingerprinting technology in the areas of identifying people by various security services, because its results are inevitable in identifying the perpetrator, and it is considered decisive evidence in conviction, as it is one of the most successful scientific methods in knowing the truth of the crime, determining the scope of the search for the accused, and quickly reaching the perpetrators to ensure the right Society to be safe and ensure the effectiveness of the law.
