Forensic DNA profiling has an important role on the society by providing reliable evidence whether a man is the biological father of an individual or not. To do that biological samples are required for DNA analysis. It is very easy to collect blood samples from the adults but at the same time quite difficult to draw blood from neonates. It requires lot of skill as the process is invasive and many of the time collected amount is very few. To forbid that issue we have successfully isolated genomic DNA from a new born in a non-invasive way, by collecting the dried umbilical cord and the cord blood sample. Matching or exclusions between alleged parents and the child were established with the help of STR typing.
