Abstract excerpt

The tetranucleotide repeat polymorphism in the human beta-actin related pseudogene H-beta-Ac-psi-2 (ACTBP2) locus has become a widely used short tandem repeat (STR) system in paternity testing and human identification. The discrimination index of this locus has been reported to be as high as 99.6...
