Highly accurate DNA parental testing became available in the 1980s with the development of RFLP. In the 1990s, PCR, developed in 1983, became the standard method for DNA parental testing. A simpler, faster, and more accurate method of testing than RFLP, it has an exclusion rate of 99.99% or higher.
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) was first identified in 1868 by Friedrich Miescher, a Swiss biologist, in the nuclei of pus cells obtained from discarded surgical bandages. The substance he found contained an acidic part, nucleic acid, and a basic (alkaline) part, which we now know to be histone proteins, which bind to the nucleic acid.
