Abstract excerpt
The aim of the present study was to examine a single locus variable number tandem repeat for the purpose of DNA genotyping ("fingerprinting"). DNAs of 175 individuals from five ethnic groups (Black, Chinese, Japanese, Caucasian, and Melanesian) were analyzed. Restriction fragment length polymorphic analysis of random individuals revealed individual specific DNA patterns in all but one group. Among 20 Melanesian...
