Estimation of allele frequencies for VNTR loci.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Apr 1991

Devlin B, Risch N, Roeder K

Abstract excerpt

VNTR loci provide valuable information for a number of fields of study involving human genetics, ranging from forensics (DNA fingerprinting and paternity testing) to linkage analysis and population genetics. Alleles of a VNTR locus are simply fragments obtained from a particular portion of the DNA molecule and are defined in terms of their length. The essential element of a VNTR fragment is the repeat, which is a...
