- pbhjpbhj 17y agoIs it illegal to synthesise partial DNA to match a particular fingerprint? If not then it doesn't matter if criminals can't do it they just call a lab and get them to make it up - looks like a good opportunity for a lab that doesn't care where it gets it's money from; or a sideline for a morally ambiguous student/lab-tech.

- pbhjpbhj 17y agoI meant of course, given the field of current discourse, "match a particular [DNA] fingerprint", as in the assessment of presence of known chemical structures at particular points in a DNA strand as is used in the field of criminal investigation.
