Mitochondrial D-loop "signatures" produced by low-stringency single specific primer PCR constitute a simple comparative human identity test.

Abstract excerpt

We have developed a technique called "LSSP-PCR" (low-stringency single specific primer PCR) that detects single or multiple mutations in DNA. A purified DNA fragment is submitted to PCR by using a single primer specific for one of the extremities of the fragment, under conditions of very low stringency. The primer hybridizes specifically to its complementary extremity and nonspecifically to multiple sites within...
