Abstract excerpt

We have used a PCR-based DNA-typing method, involving the coamplification of four tetrameric short tandem repeat loci, in the analysis of a large number of severely degraded tissue samples taken from the scene of a mass disaster in which bodies were exposed to extreme thermal, physical and chemical insult. Analysis of the amplified DNA in a number of the samples revealed uniquely sized artifact PCR products...
