For Ebola, the incubation period can be as short as 2 days or as long as 21 days.he period between the transmission of the virus and the start of symptoms is called the incubation period.

DNA profiling (also called DNA fingerprinting, DNA testing, or DNA typing) is a forensic technique used to identify individuals by characteristics of their DNA.lthough 99.9% of human DNA sequences are the same in every person, enough of the DNA is different that it is possible to distinguish one individual from another, unless they are monozygotic (identical) twins.
If the DNA fingerprints of the two samples match, it is positive evidence that the suspect was present at the scene of the crime. DNA samples of a victim -- when matched to samples found on the clothing, possessions or body of a suspect -- can provide positive evidence that the suspect was in contact with a victim.ave.

DNA fingerprinting -- also known as genetic fingerprinting, DNA typing or DNA profiling -- is the extraction and analysis of DNA from biological samples to create a film of multiple DNA loci banding patterns.
