DNA fingerprinting

Ok, so my molecular diagnostics class is going to be AWESOME! Well, I haven't had the actual class yet, but I've had the lab. I just read over next weeks section in the lab manual and did the pre-lab questions.... I'm so pumped for next Wednesday! We're doing DNA fingerprinting. We'll get a "crime scene" sample, and then 5 "suspect" samples, and we're actually running test to see if any of the suspects are guilty based solely on their DNA. How freaking amazing! This is exciting. :D
I mean, obviously these samples are fake, but still---- These are real life situations...

DNA is cool.

And I am a nerd.
