Abstract excerpt

Human (GATA)n microsatellites D12S66 and D12S67 could be successfully amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in various species of apes and monkeys. In 86 unrelated animals of the most intensively studied species Macaca mulatta we demonstrated five alleles at "D12D66" differing in size in i...
