Abstract excerpt
Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) analysis using the Southern blot technique can be used to recognize copy number variation of variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) of conserved core sequences at several regions of the human genome. This new class of polymorphisms reveals a high degree of genetic variation, useful for individual identification purposes. Criticisms against forensic applications...
