Detailed explanation-1: -The DNA identification project generated more than 52, 000 STR, 44, 000 mtDNA, and 17, 000 SNP profiles. As of September 11, 2005, about 850 of the 1594 victim identifications established for the 2749 WTC victims were based solely on DNA results. Most DNA identifications used standard CODIS genotypes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Due to the fragmentation of bodies that occurs with high-velocity plane crashes and building collapses, DNA became a primary means of identifying many of the remains recovered from 9/11. This identification effort took place in multiple forensic DNA laboratories and over the course of several years.

Detailed explanation-3: -But DNA fingerprinting is an important part of forensic science. Although it can’t really tell you exactly who committed a crime, it can be used to help narrow down a list of suspects based on how well their DNA matches the samples that were found at the crime scene.

Detailed explanation-4: -DNA fingerprinting is a chemical test that shows the genetic makeup of a person or other living things. It’s used as evidence in courts, to identify bodies, track down blood relatives, and to look for cures for disease.

Detailed explanation-5: -Each person’s nuclear DNA is unique-except for identical twins, who have the same DNA. When a sufficient nuclear DNA profile from the victim’s remains matches the nuclear DNA profile from a sample known to have come from the victim, we can be very sure of the identity of the victim.
