Abstract excerpt

Using RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) analysis, we have characterized the genotypic variation of three VNTR (variable number of tandem repeat) loci (D2S44, D7S22, and D12S11) with probes YNH24, g3, and MS43a, respectively, for 288 individuals from 5 genetically well-defined ethnic...
