Summary Introduction

To review:

Definition of the following terminologies:

1. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) typing

2. Short tandem repeats

3. DNA profile

4. Ribozyme

5. Noncoding RNA (ribonucleic acid)

Introduction:

The DNA can be used for different diagnostic and investigational purposes. This involves the utilization of certain discrete regions of DNA that are unique in nature. These include the use of repetitive DNA sequences such as tandem repeats. Moreover, many RNA molecules fall into the category of noncoding RNA. These noncoding RNA molecules can perform certain regulatory and enzymatic functions in the form of ribozymes.
