INDIVIDUAL DISCRIMINATION METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

An individual identification method for identifying an individual by analyzing a DNA sample through electrophoresis, comprises: a first analysis step of analyzing an identifier-attached DNA sample which is given an identifier for an individual; a step of storing a result obtained by analyzing the identifier-attached DNA sample together with a corresponding identifier in a database; a second analysis step of analyzing a new sample which is a DNA sample subjected to individual identification with an accuracy lower than the accuracy when the identifier-attached DNA sample is analyzed, and using the result as a new sample analysis result; and a step of searching the database based on the new sample analysis result.
