Abstract excerpt

Two hundred and sixty UK Caucasian individuals have been typed for the STR locus D12S391. Measurements of absolute band shift, relative to an allelic ladder, allowed fragments differing by one base pair to be consistently distinguished. The intermediate alleles typed from such fragments comprised...
