DNA fingerprints (DNA profiling) can show a match between two DNA samples, or a close match, useful in identifying remains, or establishing proof in a criminal investigation or trial. It can also show that a familial relationship exists, as in a paternity test.

A more involved analysis, called full genome sequencing, is used in prenatal testing to reveal chromosomal damage or inherited traits. This can assist in determining susceptibility to birth defects or diseases.
