Abstract excerpt
Length variation at the short tandem repeat (STR) locus HUMTH01 can be reliably detected from small amounts of DNA (0.01-10 ng) extracted from a range of forensic human samples, using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), horizontal polyacrylamide gels and silver staining. It was shown that the oligonucleotide primers used are specific to humans and some higher primates. Population data bases of Caucasians and...
