Identity tests, as
performed in the fields of paternity and forensics, rely on the detection
of genetic differences among individuals. At present, highly polymorphic
loci whose alleles are the result of VNTR ( Variable number of tandemly
repeated sequences) are the most informative genetic markers for genetic
characterization. Several loci of VNTR sequences suitable for forensic
purposes have been identified and the distribution of alleles of these
VNTR loci has been studied on different populations. The primers presented
herein are applied for VNTR sequence amplification. The analysis of
frequency distribution of alleles has greatly broadened the possibilities
of modern forensics.
