Employing deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) for personal verification

Abstract

Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) is one of the most important biometrics, it is especially employed for individual recognition. In this study, people are recognized based on their DNAs. An effective algorithm for acquiring the unique DNA patterns is adopted. It is called the Unique Personal DNA Pattern (UPDP). This algorithm focuses on the repeated unique pattern in each DNA sample. Four databases are utilized in this paper. These are the DNA Classification (DC), Sample DNA Sequence (SDS), Human DNA Sequences (HDS) and DNA Sequences (DS). Such interesting and remarkable results are obtained in both recognition types of verification. In verification, FARs are achieved 0.32%, 0.31%, 0% and 0.16% for the DC, SDS, HDS and DS, respectively. Whereas, all False Rejection Rates (FRRs) in verification are recorded 0% for the four databases.
