Abstract excerpt
In forensic DNA typing, evidential samples generally involve limited amounts of DNA and so should be carefully utilized. Although polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) alleles is the prevailing method for forensic identification, the fidelity of amplification...
