Abstract excerpt

PCR-VNTRs are important markers for the individualization in forensic science. Before their use in routine case work extensive validation studies such as population genetics, mutation rates and experimental sensitivity studies have to be carried out. Different applications of PCR-VNTRs in stain a...
