Abstract excerpt
PCR analysis of the VNTR locus D17S30 was assessed for its potential use in forensic identification analysis. "Allelic drop-out," the inefficient amplification of some alleles, complicates the interpretation of DNA typing at this locus. PCR conditions were varied in an effort to improve amplification of the alleles at this locus. Such changes included the use of denaturants, formamide and DMSO, to overcome any...
