That all depends on what context you are talking about: processing or comparison. Processing is mainly chemistry and biology. You must know what waste products the body excretes (biology) and what chemicals will make the impressions left behind by those products visible (chemistry). On the comparison side, you are talking about embriology, biology,and psychology. A great rescource you should look into is a book by David Ashbaugh called "Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis." This book should be able to help you with your project.

What kind of science is used in fingerprinting and fingerprint analysis and how is it used? This is for a school project. I am a college student. Thanks.
