Abstract excerpt
A concept for the application of complex pedigree analysis to multilocus DNA fingerprinting is described. By following this approach, the extent to which the DNA fingerprints of grandparents influence the phenotype likelihoods of their offspring was determined. It was demonstrated by simulation that approximately 90% of paternity disputes can be solved if mother, child, and paternal grandparents, instead of the...
