DNA fingerprinting technique uses probes complementary to

In DNA fingerprinting, VNTRs are used to create a unique DNA profile for an individual. The sample DNA is fragmented using restriction endonuclease and the fragments are separated by size using gel electrophoresis. The VNTRs are then detected using probes that bind to specific sequences within the repeats, and the resulting pattern of signals is used to create a DNA fingerprint.
