Abstract excerpt
Since Jeffreys devised a DNA fingerprint in 1985, DNA analysis has been applied to paternity testing. The progress of the techniques, especially the development of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), makes it possible to type 10-15 short tandem repeat (STR) loci in paternity testing by a single test tube. When using a well qualified database, we can now obtain a paternity index (PI) as high as 10(6) in usual trio...
