Abstract excerpt
Variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphisms provide a high degree of informativeness in linkage studies. Whether performed by standard methods or by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), analysis of these markers involves assessment of the length of each allele. VNTR alleles usually differ i...
