Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The determination of blood group antigens in patients and donors is of primary importance in transfusion medicine. Blood group antigens are inherited and are polymorphic in nature.

Many DNA-based assays, such as species-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR), PCR-restriction...
