Editing DNA profiling (section)

==Fake DNA evidence==
The functional analysis of genes and their coding sequences ([[open reading frames]] [ORFs]) typically requires that each ORF be expressed, the encoded protein purified, antibodies produced, phenotypes examined, intracellular localization determined, and interactions with other proteins sought.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Hartley JL, Temple GF, Brasch MA | title = DNA cloning using in vitro site-specific recombination |journal = Genome Research | volume = 10 | issue = 11 | pages = 1788–1795 | date = November 2000 | pmid = 11076863 | pmc = 310948 | doi = 10.1101/gr.143000 }}</ref> In a study conducted by the life science company Nucleix and published in the journal ''[[Forensic Science International]]'', scientists found that an [[in vitro]] synthesized sample of DNA matching any desired genetic profile can be constructed using standard [[molecular biology]] techniques without obtaining any actual tissue from that person.
