Abstract excerpt
The properties of human DNA fingerprints detected by multilocus minisatellite probes 33.6 and 33.15 have been investigated in 36 large sibships and in 1,702 Caucasian paternity cases involving the analysis of over 180,000 DNA fingerprint bands. The degree of overlap of minisatellite loci detected by these two probes is shown to be negligible (approximately 1%), and the resulting DNA fingerprints are therefore...
