The transformation experiments were performed by Frederick Griffith in the year 1928, are of great evidence in establishing the nature of genetic material. The technique of DNA fingerprinting was initially developed by Jeffreys, proof that DNA is the genetic material was given by Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase.
