Abstract excerpt

Nucleic acids can be characterized using a variety of "fingerprinting" techniques usually based on nucleic acid hybridization or enzymatic amplification. The scanning of nucleic acids by amplification with arbitrary oligonucleotide primers has become popular because it can generate simple-to-comp...
