Abstract excerpt
Microsatellite sequences, like minisatellites, are a class of polymorphic DNA fragments that are randomly distributed throughout mammalian genome. Although they express significantly lower variation than minisatellites, they have potential to be used in paternity disputes. However, the inherently...
