USING THE METHODS OF GENETIC FINGERPRINTING FOR PERSON IDENTIFICATION AND FORMATION OF THE STATE GENOME DATABASE (INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL EXPERIENCES)

Abstract

Person identification using the methods of genomic fingerprinting contributes to the distinction of individuals by their DNA samples. In some regional agencies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, laboratories have been established and operate at research forensic centers that carry out identification following the human genome. Due to the lack of the necessary legislative framework in Ukraine, there was no unified national register – the state genome database, except for the DNA register of unidentified deceased persons. With the adoption in 2022 of the Law of Ukraine “On State Registration of Human Genomic Information”, the relevant issue progressed at the legislative level. At the same time, many practical problems arose after. In order to solve them, it was decided to compare the international and national experiences.
